Missing "Save" button on Update channels

Given nobody else is having this problem, I'm sure it's just something you've done, rather than a NextPVR bug.
I'd try deleting the NPVR.db3 file, and setting up again from scratch. When you import your channels, do it from somewhere like d:\channels.m3u.

I did find that the cookies folder was protected and changed its settings and rebooted, reimported the m3u and still have the same problem. I looked through the log file and can not find the line you referenced about 12 hours ago, "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\User\Cookies\Desktop\Upgrade nextpvr\NPVR - FoxNews.m3u'." Where did you see it? New log file attached. Thanks!

It does not have required access to see files or directories in your 'User' account directory.

It does not have required access to see files or directories in your 'User' account directory. I see. I can easily grant account called 'localsystem' whatever rights it needs, if I knew what it needed. In this case, it can not find part of the path it mentions because that path no longer exists; it is not a permissions issue. I had moved that m3u file to a new directory called x:\m3u. Somewhere, NextPVR is storing the old path to a device that had been deleted. Related question, probably not worth creating a new thread. When I do import the m3u file, the screen has an option for specifying an EPG URL. Is it possible to specify the Schedules Direct "XMLid" value in my m3u file itself for a channel? I see examples in the form like channel-id=i7.58718,schedulesdirect.org but after importing the m3u, I still need to go to the channels settings and manually map the schedules direct channels. (This is more than theoretical, after deleting the db file you recommend, I will have a lot of remapping to do.) Thanks!

It sounds like maybe your m3u is missing that.

It won't be a local system issue if adding the m3u works. Why not just add from C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data, that is were I put mine and we know NextPVR can read that.
Most recently both of these failed 'C:\Users\User\Desktop\Upgrade nextpvr\NPVR - FoxNews.m3u'. 'C:\Users\User\Desktop\Upgrade nextpvr\NPVR - FoxBusiness.m3u'. Martin

Why not just add from C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data, that is were I put mine and we know NextPVR can read that. SOLVED! I'm really appreciative of the help but even more embarrassed once I found the solution. I created a subdirectory called m3u under C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data and copied my m3u files there. They still would not import properly, so i copied them to the parent C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data but gave them a different file name - i added a prefix 1 to each of them. The first one I tried to import worked as it should. I couldn't believe it! I was so happy that I wanted to see it again, so I tried to import it again and found I had an error. Through some research (scrolling down and looking at all the devices), I found that I had still had old devices with the old missing path that could no longer be found. I deleted all of them with the CRTL function, rather than simply emptying them with the icon on the upper right of the screen, and everything has been perfect ever since - all imported fine from the new C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\directory. I believe they would have imported fine from the other locations too, had I deleted the empty devices. I hope this helps. I am glad I am on here with an auto generated username and password. I would not want anyone to know my real name after this.  John |
