I can confirm this behavior as well. I was on a previous 3.x version, after upgrading to 3.2, I get the same exact error response about the unexpected character. If I downgrade to version 2 it works again. Unfortunately you can’t choose the version you upgrade to when going back to version 3 which means I am stuck between having Handy Control working or having the newer firmware which supports the bottom stroke length option.

Wish I had read the last couple of days posts before I upgraded the FW today.

same here, cannot use handycontrol now with most recent update 
Yeah, I’m lost without handycontrol
any updates on the situation?
Are they working on on a new firmware to fix it, or should we all return to firmware 2.0 in the meantime?
Can somebody explain if there is a workaround via local script,
I have read the manual but have trouble to make it work
love handycontrol, but what a mess from TheHandy… 
This site, can help.

Local script…
Drag your *.mp4 and *.funscript
https://www.handyfeeling.com/local-video
I have test and so far every movie and script works good.
TIP: don’t have to long file namn and both movie and *.funscript is same name.
Good luck!
I hope the update in the HandyControl 1.2.0.??? update works soon.
It’s a good program!

No updates, I was just trying to provide as many details as I could so Lucifie can update as needed. For now you can still use HandyFeeling as MegaSex has said. You could also give ScriptPlayer a try, the beta is currently working with the handy.
I have both installed just as a backup, but I also work in the IT field so…I’m always thinking of backups haha

I see… thanks guys for the recommendations.
Already tried handyfeeling but cannot sync well ( i might try the tips, also resync button)
for scriptplayer, it’s weird. Previous release I could open, but latest beta crashes instantly when I open it, so no luck for me either…
The fact they managed to fix it in scriptplayer,
I really hope Lucifie can do the same for Handycontrol !
please keep us updated if you plan to do it or not,
and thanks for this great program !

First thing I noticed, that it is only affecting the files you upload to HandyFeeling.com.
If you use the local script host everything seems to work with FW 3.2
Edit: I have uploaded a fix for the error in Firmware 3.2. Seems that the server does not return a value anymore and so the requested URL is not valid. I am in touch with the devs but so far the fix works on my end.

I’m having a different problem. HandyControl won’t even start now. Try run as administrator, even tried a newer version. None of the HandyControl programs will start up now. Any ideas? 
Copy the folder to a different location and see what happens. It will use the default config if you move it.

Is it possible to implement a way to connect and run 2 handy devices simultaneously??
it’s working now ! Thanks a lot for your fix 
However when I try the local script host solution, I always have:
downloading the script to handy…
script prepare - error r success false
I have no idea what is causing this error, I did register the script host, but something else must cause the error,
any idea ?
local script host issues is mainly a missing setting in your firewall or router. Temporary disable the firewall and see what happens.
This won’t work. Even if I send the commands to 2 devices they wont be in sync.

I would test local script but run as always done when I run as before update and everything works again.
What you do Lucifie?
Do you try too!
Not sure what you want to say but both hosting methods worked on my end.
