Description
MythWeb Recorded Programs RSS feed breaks if program titles contain non-ascii characters. For example, title "Tv-uutiset ja sää" becomes:
<title>Tv-uutiset ja sää</title>
Adding utf8_decode() call to tv/tmpl/rss/recorded.php where title is set, makes it better:
<title>Tv-uutiset ja sää</title>
but it is still broken because of the entities (http://validator.w3.org/feed/). Is it possible to output this RSS-feed through MythWeb without doing the entity encoding for this file?

[20244] did not fix this, ticket should be re-opened (don't have permissions to do so).
Root of the problem seems to be the fact that FeedWriter?.php does HTML entity encoding for the RSS data. RSS data is in fact XML and thus most of the HTML entities do not work but break the XML (since without additional declarations, XML can contain only 5 entities).
Attached patch removes HTML-entity encoding and also removes previous UTF-8/URL -decode calls (which now need to be removed when entities are not used). With this applied, non-ascii characters work both in program titles and descriptions.

(In [20244]) Hopefully fixes #6289, converts utf-8 to iso8859-1 and urldecodes them.
