Hi,
in the following output you can see in the metadata tag "Album", that the
character '°' was printed as unknown encoding. This is, because here on Ubuntu the
default system encoding is UTF-8, but ffmpeg and ffprobe output the data in ISO-8859-1
encoding.
In terminal output this is not really a big problem, but if the output is
processed with another program, e.g. Python script, which uses the system
default encoding, an encoding exception occurs, which breaks the program.
To me this looks like a bug.
