On my Raspberry Pi running Openelec, I've got a problem with the artist name of "Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg".
The same album successfully loads local artwork on Windows 7, but it apparently crashes on the Pi with 'plugin has failed to run'.

Is this likely to be a problem with Openelec itself or a setting which needs changing (to UTF8 perhaps?) The files play and otherwise work in XBMC okay.
