I've noticed a couple of time now that NPVR will stop processing EPG files. I think that it happens when the channel lineup from Schedules Direct has changed. (There are either more or fewer channels, but the channels mapped from the EPG to the capture sources are all still there.)
Here's an excerpt from the nrecord.log file showing last night's "update":
Notice that it says "channelEventsLists.Count=0" which is not normal. Normally it shows:
To fix the situation, I have to go into the config for the capture source, select a channel, and then reselect it's EPG source. Actually, I found that when I go into the details screen, the correct channel from the EPG file is already/still selected. At first I was opening the dropdown list, and reselecting the same channel. Then I discovered that I didn't even have to do that--just open then details screen and close it. BUT, this action only fixes that one channel. I still have to go through and open and close the details for each channel to get them all fixed.
