# Generate Additional Debugging Info
The developers sometimes need additional info about your problem, because they cannot reproduce it. This happens for example when a problem is restricted to certain countries or network / proxy settings causing the devs to get different responses from e.g. YouTube's servers than you.
You'll be asked by a developer to generate additional info and send it to a dev's email address. Please do not post the additional info on GitHub, because it might contain sensitive information about your NewPipe usage.
## Generate a HAR
A [HAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAR_(file_format)) contains the network traffic you caused while using NewPipe. This information is not logged when using the normal NewPipe version. To get this info, you'll need to install a debug version of NewPipe.
1. [Enable USB debugging](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable).
2. Connect your phone to your PC through USB
3. Open Chrome, type `chrome://inspect` into the address bar
4. Open that debug version of NewPipe on your phone.
5. Select the NewPipe debug version in Chrome:
![click on inspect](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17365767/96285447-44b88880-0fdf-11eb-98ad-2f2c522f37ab.png)
6. In the Chrome DevTools, go to the "Network" tab
7. Reproduce the problem
8. In the Chrome DevTools, save the network traffic as HAR:
![export HAR](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17365767/96284552-02db1280-0fde-11eb-8fd6-e8aa11719701.png)
