That was only related to the encoding of get_iplayer's source code. Nothing to do with normal usage.
I'm a fan of traditional Irish folk music and so one of the shows I download is this thing Cúlán - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l3xbn I've noticed - The diacritical characters get mashed in file names (does not cause me an issue)
That's now the default behaviour. The characters were removed pre-2.87. If you want to retain non-ASCII chars, see the Output section of the the options list in the GitHub wiki. It is also linked from the release notes.
- my music player renders the mashed characters correctly as they are stored in the mp3 metadata.
That should have always been the case.
- problems using the command line to add the pvr search; used the web ui found the show there and added it to my pvr searches
Entering accented chars on the command line is different from system to system, and you don't say which you use. You should have a character map application of some sort to help copy and paste accented chars to the command line.
