issues with updating my channels

[madmanuk]

hi sub,

i had some issues with some channels showing no data in the epg, and some saying rescan.
i was comparing with the channel list returned by my old system.
i think some of the channels had changed.
i tried to go into devices and update the channels, but on clicking the device name, i got a black window, with the menu above and left.
i thought this might be because some of the tuners were in use, so i waited till none were busy.
same result.
i tried deleting one device, and scanning again, which returned the device, and then tried clicking that device to scan for channels - black window again.
then i deleted all devices, and scanned again, now all of the devices give a black screen and i have no channels.
i have attached verbose log files in case that helps.

What type of device was it? (I'm on my phone, so haven't looked at your logs)

i think i have it working for now - i copied the npvr.db3 file to the directory the docker image was using, then let the docker image update channels, and copied it back.
Now updating the EPG.

This error should have been fixed in 200614

It might be possible that you have an older file somewhere. I'd download stable again and delete the binary files to unsure you have the correct files. This won't impact your configuration.

Thanks
I will try that.
I am trying to remember now, but I think I have the latest stable from about 2 weeks ago, with a modified dll which sub gave me to fix the epg download.
I will download the current stable and do sum checks to see if anything is out of date.

[madmanuk]

I have done the check.
Using the built in mac sum command shows that the binaries in the NPVR directory all match the stable download - except the Nshared dll.
I will take a safety copy of that .dll and then copy over the stable distro one.

OK, downloaded the latest, added ffmpeg, just did a channel scan, and the EPG update appears to be working (at least, didnt stop on each channel after 6 seconds).

Hopefully all good.

Thanks
