Subject: [PATCH] Properly handle platform name containing UTF-8 characters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
On Fedora 19, python's platform name is something like "Linux-3.10.4-300.fc19.x86_64-x86_64-with-fedora-19-Schrödinger’s_Cat"
This causes a UnicodeDecodeError when running youtube-dl in verbose mode.
This commit fixes it by decoding the platform name properly with the util function decodeOption()
