NextPVR hangs when tuning to offline channel

[madbrain]

Some ATSC channels don't broadcast 24/7.



When watching live TV, if I accidentally tune to one of them, the NextPVR 4 client hangs. It's inconvenient when using an IR remote, as it no longer answers to any remote command, not even to try to tune to another channel. The up/down arrows that I have mapped to buttons on my remote no longer have any effect.



I have to use my wireless keyboard/mouse. The following steps do technically work.
1. right click in black screen area
2. wait about 5 seconds for pop-up menu
3. double click another channel
4. wait about 5 seconds again
5. new channel finally comes up

I have attached a log of a session when I just tried to tune to KTVUDT2 which was offline and this hang happened. I just closed the app afterwards using the wireless keyboard/mouse.

In that case, NextPVR comes back to the same offline channel the next time one tries to watch live TV, necessitating the above steps to be employed. I think if the channel was not tuned correctly, NextPVR shouldn't save it and come back to the same channel the next time around.

NextPVR v4 wasn't particularly good with offline channels, but I'm no longer making changes to v4, so there isn't really anything I can do about it this stage.

If you're still having this sort of issue with v5, I'm happy to work through it with you.

Yes, I'm having this issue on v5 too. Will try to provide a log later tonight or tomorrow.
