Subject: [xattr] Always use UTF-8
X-Git-Url: http://git.cielonegro.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afc7bc33cb8dc63a5e3495e7e11b47f84d89be23;p=youtube-dl.git

[xattr] Always use UTF-8

On Windows and other systems, other encodings would break when trying to encode non-ASCII characters.
Simply use UTF-8, like every sane system.
