Errors while syncing - File "<frozen runpy>" - UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0

Here is the error message I get: C:\Users\Tom>adbsync push "F:\1-Music\3-Music Phone\Music" "/sdcard/"

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037

Additional info: when using "adb push", I get errors when my files' path is too long, so maybe there's a similar issue with better-adb-sync?

I'm not familar with Python debugging so let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you!

looks like a duplicate of #44 which has an input data to work with and suggested workaround

Yes, please close this @Tom4tot in favor of #44 (which already contains all the relevant info).
