Yep, adjusting the time got it to run and yes, it's a problem with an
accented character in the episode title "The Panty Piñata Polarization":

Looking at github I see the script hasn't been updated in a few years. It's
a great script but I don't know python. Anyway to patch it or should I just
shrug and temporarily change the "Piñata" to "Pinata" and change it back
after the export?

Thanks.
