Had an issue with this tool. It would crash whenever I was playing any file in VLC that had Unicode characters in its meta-data.
Fortunately, was able to fix the problem by modifying 5 lines of python code.
If you could publish a fixed version of the tool, I'm sure other folks might appreciate it.
Details on the code fixes below.
