amet, isn't there a way to change the default config/DB files location? Can it be moved to, let's say, C:\simple_ascii_dir_name\xbmc?
Changing the name through the Control Panel doesn't change the path (of course)...
What's the bug id/ticket # for this issue?

hmm... ok... i thought there might be a way to change it from the XBMC level.
What surprises me is that it used to work before. XBMC has a built-in Python 2.4 interpreter (correct me if I'm wrong), that had problems with UTF-8 encoded paths. I know it's fixed in most recent version of Python 3. But, nevertheless, why did it work before?

because it used to write to special://profile/bla, now it has to translate before it writes.

I have exactly the same problem as described, but I run XBMC 11.0-Pre compiled August 8 on Xubuntu 12.04.
It worked fine throughout space and time. Then for many months, subtitles were at the top of the screen. Doctors were stunned and had never seen this before. Now since the past, I don't know, month or so, after an update, no more subtitles are displayed after a successful download.
Does this have the same cause, or are the issues on Linux different and should I open a new topic about it?
Try Xubuntu. It's the new Ubuntu.

Without going through the debug logs yet, I've noticed that the first time I choose a subtitle to download, it does not appear on the video. If I do the same procedure a second time and choose the same subtitle, it works. Strange, I'll check out the debug log when I get home from work.
