Hi, I tried to fetch the news of the "Tagesanzeiger" (from Switzerland, in German) with the built-in recipe but after about 7 minutes an error window is displayed with the following message:

"Failed: Fetch news from Tagesanzeiger"

At the end of the "Detail-Output" I can see the following error:

"ValueError: All strings must be XML compatible: Unicode or ASCII, no NULL bytes"

Then I tried to open the built-in recipe in calibre but then a large error message is displayed and I can not open the recipe:

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>DatabaseException</b>:You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings. RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 175, in run ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

Does anyone knows how to fix that problem ? I use calibre 0.7.28.

Thanks a lot for your help !
