Serviio does not show files with chinese characters in filenames

Whenvever I try to add files with chinese characters in filenames to the library, serviio console skip these files.

It looks like the problem is ffmpeg doesn't read files with chinese characters in filenames.

Adding a file with name 中文.avi, the following messages were noted in the log file:

DEBUG [LibraryAdditionsCheckerThread] Found file '中文.avi', checking if it's already in the Library

DEBUG [MediaItemDAOImpl] Checking if DB already contains media item 中文.avi

DEBUG [MediaItemDAOImpl] Media item 中文.avi doesn't exist in DB yet

DEBUG [LibraryAdditionsCheckerThread] File not in Library, will add it

DEBUG [VideoExtractionStrategy] Extracting metadata of video file: D:\Gabriel's Movies\中文.avi

DEBUG [FFMPEGWrapper] Invoking FFMPEG to retrieve media information for file: D:\Gabriel's Movies\中文.avi

DEBUG [ProcessExecutor] Starting C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\..\lib/ffmpeg.exe -i D:\Gabriel's Movies\中文.avi

DEBUG [LibraryManager] Skipping processing metadata for an unsupported file. Message: Unknown video file type.

Hope this would be fix in next release.
