When loading the PVR Recordings tab, I get following exception:

App version is either current F-Droid upstream and current master branch. Kodi Version is 19 and 18.8 PCR Backend is VDR 2.4.1-4.1: amd64 on debian bullseye. VNSI Server version is 1:1.8.0-3: amd64 on debian bullseye.
Before upgrading debian from buster to bullseye I've seen this issue sporadically, now it occures every time
always have this exception. Could somebody please fix this?
we saw similar errors in https://github.com/xbmc/Official-Kodi-Remote-iOS/issues/164 which was confirmed to be a backend issue: https://tvheadend.org/issues/6003
you should check if raw output is a valid UTF-8 (e.g. with curl). If not, then most probably it's also a backend bug.
I am unable to replicate on my side. If it was caused by some recording, it may be deleted.
