Error: JSON.parse: bad escaped character at line 86 column 20 of the JSON data

Hi,

I can't figure what's wrong with my install. It stopped working so I did a fresh install from scratch with the image from the website. I can SSH into my raspberry, but when I try to open the web interface, I have an error message :

I tried to update through the CLI, but it isn't working either :

rAudio:~  #  wget -q https://github.com/rern/rAudio-1/raw/main/install.sh
rAudio:~  #  chmod 755 install.sh
rAudio:~  #  ./install.sh r1 Update main

================================================================================
 .   rAudio 1 ...
================================================================================
 .  Get files ...
 !  Get files failed.

Would you have any idea what's up?

Thanks!

I tried without the USB DAC, same problem with slightliy different output :

And here's the output of the commands

Try:

• Download the image file again
• Write to a new SD card
• Remove all connected devices
• Boot

If it's not the image file or the SD card then it's the Raspberry Pi itself.

Note: The hostname, B8\05827\058EB\058BB\05884\0589D, is not normal.

Nothing worked, so I'm using my old Raspberry 1, no problem! I'm now using the Raspberry 3B+ as a thin client for streaming my main computer, and it works perfectly fine, so I'm not sure the Raspberry is faulty.
