Serviio forgets utf-encoded files

Hello everyone.

I have lots of utf8-encoded files on Linux where I run Serviio.
When I restart Serviio it rescans all the directories, finds such files (with correct names in the log) and shows them to DLNA-clients.
But after some time (probably Serviio-initiated rescan) utf-encoded files disappear from clients, log shows squares in place of national characters and Serviio reports that it failed to find the file in db.

I found that national-encoded (utf) files should be supported by Serviio, but it seems that the feature is broken.

Re: Serviio forgets utf-encoded files

Could it be that Serviio is running under different user accounts on each occasion? i.e. with your account when you add the files, and as user "serviio" (or whatever) when run via start-up scripts? Where are you setting the language environment variable? In my Serviio start-up script I have the following:
  Code:
export LC_ALL=en_NZ.UFT-8
Using Serviio on Debian "Wheezy" with Xbox 360, Sony BDP-S370 & Panasonic E6.
