NextPVR v7 Not retaining established SD source on EPG sources page

[acadng]

Martin,

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but I had an unexpected family situation. I d appreciate your patience.
I created 3 logs and have them attached. 2 of the logs has just SD artwork checked. 1 does not. I also adjusted the number of days downloaded from SD in the config file from 9 to 14. This way I can connect to the Internet, refresh NextPVR page in FF & check to make sure my SD lineup is listed in the EPG sources list & the select the update EPG button on the Guide page. Works very well. Since I only do this once a day or so... just a quick way to visually validate & execute.
In a nut shell without an Internet connection the SD lineup EPG is not listed. If it is connected the lineup is listed. Works well  So, my workaround is to have it connected
Do my steps as outlined. A couple minute process & works. Overall I like NextPVR & thankful for it. I look forward to using it for a long time.

OK but that isn't what I asked to check. I wanted to know if the lineups not being loaded impacted the EPG update, it should only impact maintenance. I expect most users rarely touch these screen, they just work.

In any case when NextPVR tried to get the token from SD it look like your network was down (twice) so whatever automation you have opening your network isn't working so you probably are best off with on demand updates are working.

Code:

I do not have any form "automation." Figuratively, I switch the connection to the Internet on/off by selecting either my phone's hotspot or my stand alone non-internet router wireless's broadcast thru the laptop's wireless network connection. I just pick one or the other from the available wireless accesses. The reason why there were SD connecting errors in the logs is because when I power up the laptop it is only has one wireless connection to connect to & it is the router. The phone's hotspot is off, hence why the errors. It is NOT a NextPVR issue, it is just it is trying to do its job to make a connection when there is no Internet. Once there is an Internet connection & I refresh FF the SD lineup links show up in the EPG sources list. All I do is my manual EPG task, as I wanted to in the first place, and have a successful SD connection & do an EPG update on demand. What threw me off balance at the beginning was that I couldn't figure out why my listed SD lineup wasn't being displayed after laptop & NextPVR were no longer connected to the Internet. It really has been my assumption that the SD lineup would still be listed in the EPG sources list even if the software didn't have an Internet connection. I was wrong. That assumption on my part does not necessitate that NextPVR had a hiccup. It did not. There is nothing wrong with NextPVR, it is doing exactly as designed & doing it very well. My assumption is the hiccup.

Thank you for your time and I apologize for for taking us down a path that didn't need to go to in the first place.

Nick.
