Describe the bug

Dear, I found something.

When I set the language "English" as a primary on MacOS,
I can play a video with Netflix well.

However, if I set the language as "한국어 (Korean)" as a primary on MacOS,
I get an error "(Playb:10008;CHD:1005;)"

I believe there is an issue with Korean character handling on PlayCover - Netflix.

Steps to reproduce

Set primary language as "Korean" on Mac OS
Launch Netflix
Select Profile
Play any video

Expected behaviour

Video should be played on "Korean" MacOS language

Crash log

No response

What version of PlayCover are you using?

2.0.3

What version of macOS are you using?

Ventura (macOS 13)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English

if I set the language as "Traditional Chinese" as a primary on MacOS,
I get an error "(Playb:10008;CHD:1005;)", too.
