Channel List

[MrGenius1]

I would verify the channel URL, your log is littered with

Code:

2020-01-03 03:29:00.176 [DEBUG][32] Unexpected error in HTTP input source: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

You may have at least one folder set wrong in config.xml

Code:

2020-01-03 04:27:35.969 [ERROR][28] Unexpected error querying available disk space (C:\temp\/): System.IO.DriveNotFoundException: Could not find the drive 'C:\temp\/'. The drive might not be ready or might not be mapped.

What does this code actually mean because everything is working fine. I only noticed this issue when I wanted to add more guide data to some of my channels.

I have my NextPVR server installed in Docker on Libreelec. My clients are Libreelec on Raspberry Pi 4. Why would it be looking for a C: drive? Wouldn't that be Windows? I do manage the server from a Windows PC.

My guess is there is a funny channel name in there, that NextPVR isn’t encoding safely. You probably need to open the browser dev tools, click on the “network” tab and see what is being returned from the channel.lis

I attached a screenshot from Firefox from the network tab loading channels from settings.

I can see it's returned 900k of data, so it is most likely exactly what I said - it's returning a channel list, but something about one of the channel names is making it invalid data, so it never makes it to the web app as a valid channel list.

I'd look closer at the data returned from that channel.list call. In chrome's devtools you can double click the call, and click the 'response' tab, and see the actual data that was transferred. If you can copy that text to .txt file, zip it, and attach it, I'll check what's wrong with it.

What's the recording directory set to on the Setting screen? (alternatively I might have accidentally left c:\temp as an alternative recording directory in the config.xml - and you can safely ignore this....I'm away for a few days, but will check mid next week when I'm back)

The call we would need is

http://localhost:8866/service?method=cha...xtras=true

unfortunately there will be credentials in the output.


For the http error it is not clear which source is wrong, I would start with looking at the source m3u file and source epg file, if you get them via http.  It could also be channel icons in an xmltv file.

True - he can just zip it up, put it somewhere like onedrive or dropbox, and PM me the url (rather than posting it as an attachment) and I'll check it

Here is my channel log.

[mvallevand]

It's not valid JSON, the parsing of the m3u file seems to have included the logo of the name or group in a few places.

I think if you can get rid of channels 2203, 2211 and 2212 you might be ok.

It didn't like something about the formatting of the metadata for the "New England Cable News" when importing it from the m3u, so the tv-logo and other attributes ended up as part of the channel name. (maybe some other channels too - but that was the first one with a problem)

[MrGenius1]

I bit the bullet and deleted my m3u file and reloaded it and reattached the guide. Everything is back to working as far as the channel list goes. Not sure what happened during the update. I appreciate the help in trying to resolve this.

Is there a way to implement an easier way to assign a guide to a channel? Maybe make the guide channel search, searchable? I have one guide that has 100's of channels and another with 1000's. Also is there a way to lock the guide data so you can use the auto map more than once with two or more different guides?

[sub]

I can probably add some functionality like that. (Searching, and a locked epg)
