Description of your problem:
"This page isn’t working – [URL] is currently unable to handle this request."
I am able to login to the admin panel, but the landing page that lists all the episodes is suddenly not available.

[KevDoy]

Just upgraded to 3.2.9. I'm still able to access the admin panel. Sadly no luck on fixing the issue.

[KevDoy]

Additional information. I have two separate instances running on this server. The other is still working.

[jasonsgroovemachine]

I had this some problem. What eventually fixed it for me was changing the Episode Sort Order from "Season and Episode Number" to "Timestamp".

I don't know why that worked but it worked.

[KevDoy]

I ended up just taking the settings and content and doing a fresh install to solve it.
