Error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Will check out the code maybe I can find the error and maybe make a hotfix

PD: Trying in ubuntu. Will test with Windows now.

Any luck, @guillecro @akiomik on this issue? I can't trace this error in the source.

Anyone found a solution, I'm getting this invalid character "<" as well with Windows?
