By the way, this looks like a duplicate of #7238. Please consider updating ffmpeg.

It does, that's why I specifically mentioned that the problem only occurs when downloading tracks with umlauts in their title.

Please consider updating ffmpeg.

I have version N-76684-g1fe82ab installed at the moment, will look for an update now.
