# 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 caused by network / proxy settings. Hence the developers may get different responses from a service than you.

You'll be asked by a developer to generate additional information and send it to a developer'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 information, you will need to install a debug version of NewPipe.
