Latin1 charset compatibility about xbmcbackup HOT 2 CLOSED

Two questions: 1) what language are you using and 2) what is the path to your backup remote location. I'd like to try and recreate this. Thanks.

from xbmcbackup.

I use french. My backup path is smb:\FIXE-QUENTIN\Vidéos\XBMC Backup. At the begining, I thought it was the faulty path because of the 'é' of vidéos. But my raspberry pi is able to backup data to this path.
Maybe the faulty path is my XBMC data path ? (which is C:\Users\Quentin DECRE\AppData\Roaming\XBMC). So I tried to set XBMC to portable mode with "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\portable_data" as data path.

But it also fails with the same error:
