Description

Hello,

What was initially believed to be a bug with the iOS client for tvheadend, see https://github.com/zipleen/tvheadend-iphone-client/issues/246, turns out to be a tvheadend bug.

The issue:
When you create a recording from a title that contains/ends with 'в)' symbol, the filename attribute inside the dvr file contains an invalid utf-8 byte which prevents tvheadend from serving the recording (500 error) and causes the side defect of the iOS app as per the bug referenced earlier.

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Craft a specially designed unicode title into your EPG, import into EPG the below example file epg.xml(adjust the dates to match current or future time and your channel id)
2.) Configure your DVR profile like the attached dvr profile: dvr-profile.json
