Hello,

My thought is that in some auf my Tracks are non UTF8 chars.

Is this an bug in mopidy or have I to take care of the Encoding.

Edited: Added formatting. @jodal

This looks like a bug where Mopidy does not handle UTF-8 in an exception message properly. The byte 0xc3 is probably the first byte of a two-byte UTF-8-encoded character. Please open an issue.

If you wan’t to help figure out what the string that failed decoding is, you can change %s to %r in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/utils/network.py line 202, and then reproduce the error.
