UTF-8 codec can't decode byte - trying to access/create v2.db

Hello,

I’m trying to access my Hass.io Home Assistant database, but I only have this text in the home-assistant_v2.db file is:
‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xea in position 31: invalid continuation byte

Any idea how to identify what the problem might be? I have tried looking at any files I might have edited, but can’t see that anything on a line 31 should be “foreign”.

My recorder in configuration.yaml is:
recorder: include: entities: - binary_sensor.windows_pc - media_player.living_room_tv

I want to access the database in Home Assistant, so I can transfer/export the data and check it out in a dedicated program instead.

Appreciate any help and suggestions for how to fix the UTF-8 error.

Of course, there is entirely the risk that I haven’t fully understood the recorder/db yet, but hope not!

Cheers,
