Cannot scrape Russian series

Hi,

I am using OSMC with the language settings as English (UK). All English shows scrape correctly and even foreign films – Der Untergang (2004)

I have a Russian TV series which is available on thetvdb as Котёнок по имени Гав. As such, I have named the folder ‘Котёнок по имени Гав (1976)’ with episode naming using the conventional single series format ‘E01.avi’ etc

The scrapper however seems to struggle to find this entry in the database. I’m pretty sure the Cyrillic characters are the issue. So I tried the translation of ‘Kotenok po imeni Gav (1976)’ which also returns the same entry in the database but yet it too does not seem to work. The English translation ‘A Kitten named Woof (1976)’ returns nothing on thetvdb however.

This is the only series I am having an issue with.
