files with ë or é etc do not make it into playlist

[MiniMe]

that's super helpful

I used grep -p -n "[^ -~]" example.m3u8 that helped me list out 99% of list names with strange characters.

Since db moves between systems here and there I decided to replace the strange characters by ascii a-z to resolve all compatibility / language issues.
Problem solved.

Thanks for helping with the clues, I appreciate!
