Special characters in filename causes files not to be played
#1
I've got a collection of audioplays be "the three investigators". In german they are called "Die drei ???". 

Reading those files into the library works well, but they could not be played, as the path for the files ends after the second "?"...

Example: 
Code:
Hoerspiele/DDF/2017 - Die drei ??? 90-Minuten-Special: Das Grab der Inka-Mumie (other)/CD 01/Die drei ??? - 01 - Ein Mumienschrein in Rocky Beach.mp3
If kodi tries to play this file it looks for:
Code:
Hoerspiele/DDF/2017 - Die drei ??? 90-Minuten-Special: Das Grab der Inka-Mumie (other)/CD 01/Die drei ??
and can't find the file!
Playing the file from file-menu works fine. Even the "???" in the foldername give no problem! If I rename the filename to: "Die drei questionmarks - 01 - Ein Mumienschrein in Rocky Beach.mp3" it works!

So it seems the filename itself is not saved correctly into the DB!

I stumbled upon this as the hole source was removed when cleaning the DB and read in again on update DB.
