Where does that  come from? Don't see any 'hidden' character in there.
How did you obtain the script file itself, pull or copy/paste from here or something else?

[FlattusBlastus]

Downloaded zip from GitHub. Extracted .PS1 to working folder. Executed. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

ZIp, that old release? (2.x) Fetch the raw script from here and try again (after unblocking it)

Grabbed that. Got the zip again too. That weird behavior with the A is gone. But....

The script caches the session information as retrieving the catalog takes a while. During the previous run - which failed - you are likely left with an empty session cache file. Use the switch -Refresh to force downloading the session information, or throw away the file (Ignite2022-Sessions.cache), and run Get-EventSession again.

[FlattusBlastus]

Deleting the cache files looks to be working. Script is functioning as expected.
A question: I notice a lot of the videos are *.mp4.webm. I haven't seen this before in previous years. Is this expected?

[michelderooij]

No. Which session from last year's Ignite is having this ?

[FlattusBlastus]

Nearly all of them. a couple are *.mp4.mkv.
.\Get-EventSession.ps1 -DownloadFolder E:\I\Ignite -Format bestvideo+bestaudio -Event Ignite -MaxDownloadJobs 1 -Captions -Subs en -NoRepeats

[FlattusBlastus]

ls *.webm | rename-item -newname { $_.basename }

Gets rid of all the .webm extensions in the directory.

[michelderooij]

I see, seems specifying subs - adding parameters to download subtitles - seems to trigger that. I'll reopen this.

[michelderooij]

Could repro - was a invisible character in the previous line. Fixed in 3.96
