Song details becomes '?' when the song name is not English

[seromy]

Hi, first of all, thank you for making this such a good package for us :)

Problem: Not able to show non-ASCII characters

Details: The song name in the attached image is originally call '早送りカレンダー ' in Japanese, but the console output ???????? and my application also show this.

⬆Console capture

⬆The song info box in iTunes

⬆Sample of using currentTrack.name inside an electron app.

How can I solve this problem or this is a bug?

Electron version: v8.3.0
Nodejs version: v12.18.3
npm version: 6.14.6

Hello and sorry for the long delay.
I'm gonna see if this problem also happens on macOS, if it isn't the case then it's probably an issue with WScript on Windows and I'm gonna try to find a workaround.

json = {
            "name": encodeURIComponent(currentTrack.name),
            "artist": encodeURIComponent(currentTrack.artist),
            "album": encodeURIComponent(currentTrack.album),
            "mediaKind": currentTrack.kind,
            "duration": currentTrack.duration,
            "elapsedTime": iTunesApp.PlayerPosition,
            "remainingTime": remainingTime,
            "genre": encodeURIComponent(currentTrack.genre),
            "releaseYear": currentTrack.year,
            "id": encodeURIComponent(currentTrack.name), // I haven't found a way to get the current track ID with iTunes COM :/
            "playerState": playerState
        };

decodeURIComponent(currentTrack.name)
decodeURIComponent(currentTrack.artist)
decodeURIComponent(currentTrack.album)
...

Not the best way, but it works

@itztaylorau can you confirm that the issue is resolved using iTunes-bridge 0.6.7?

Yes and I can confirm that the latest version 0.6.7 works with special characters.
