Okay, it seems to be here

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 5: invalid start byte

Unsure why position 5 is giving me an error
I do not see an 0xff in position 5

You could perhaps print the hex version of the string that it is trying to decode? The ‘position 5’ likely doesn’t mean the absolute position of the byte in the whole ulog file, but rather that specific string :thinking:
