#33 Fixed the issue
Thank you.

[keredson]

could you run this for me and copy the output here?

ffmpeg -i /media/yehuda/folder/file.mkv -f ffmetadata -

Does this happen with all files or just this one?

[yegarti]

Just tried a few more and I get the same error.

The only difference is the character in the error.
the character '\u05d4' is a character in Hebrew that represents Thursday.
and the error I get now is with the character '\u05e9' which represents Saturday in Hebrew.

[keredson]

that helps a lot, thanks. i suspect it's where bottle is setting the 'Last-Modified' header. ('Thu, 05 Dec 2013 18:43:53 GMT' for an example.) likely a regional encoding feature. see here: https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle/blob/master/bottle.py#L2891 but python's underlying server can't take non-latin chars in the headers. (i ran into this a while back at work)

i can unset that header. i can't image the chromecast is dependent on it.

[keredson]

can you test #33 and see if it fixes?
