Crash When Deleting File with Cyrillic characters or emojis in the file name.

[netcaretx]

Goal was to delete downloaded Youtube video after watching them, but many have unusual characters in the file name and always generate a crash while trying to delete them.

Example:
:[DELETE] - Movie - 8H Rain Inside Car 🌧️ Harry Potter ASMR Ambience 🌧️ Flying Car with Harry & R on - Back to Hogwarts - Unknown - Played <1 day ago - Play Count: 1 - Created <1 day ago - Favorite: False - WhiteTag: False - BlackTag: False - Whitelisted: False - Blacklisted: True - MovieID: 846917

@netcaretx Looks like you have debug on and it is crashing when it is trying to write Cyrillic and emojis to the debug log. If debug is not needed please turn it off.

Python uses unicode by default. So it should be able to handle Cyrillic and emjoi without any issues. As you can see in your post the "cloudy-rainy" emoji printed.

This is resolved with v5.2.0 on the beta branch.

When printing to the debug log, if an emjoi is found it is remove and replaced with ***emoji_removed***
