gst-launch playbin2 uri=dvd://

When playing a DVD with non-utf8 title string, a runtime warning thrown:
"GStreamer-WARNING **: Trying to set string on taglist field 'title', but string is not valid UTF-8. Please file a bug."

Warning likely from this code in gst-plugins-bad/ext/resindvd
resindvdsrc.c:881 GstTagList *tags = gst_tag_list_new (GST_TAG_TITLE, title_str, NULL);

In such DVDs, the "DVD Menu, <dvd name>" title is not known to the playbin2 elements. So, there is no way for other elements to know when the dvd menu is open.


A possible fix for this issue, is to replace non-utf8 chars with '?' in the disc_name/dvd-title.
