cannot add new device

[sebjoan]

Version 7.0.0.241105

There are 4 devices listed under 'Devices' and all of them have channels listed next to them.  The one labeled 'IPTV Device' with no URL has channels too so I'm not seeing an option to add another device.  How can this be resolved?  Is there a way to rename that device so the blank IPTV Device shows up, allowing for import?

Normally there is a blank IPTV device for adding new lists. Maybe try Ctrl F5 to refresh the screen

already tried that, thanks

clicking on the IPTV Device (without url) shows all of the channels for one of the providers

Odd. That shouldn't be the case. You can press the ctrl key, then click delete on it, and then click 'rescan devices' and it'll show up again empty.

Is that my only option now, to blow up the device with all the channels and then re-create it again?

[sub]

Yeah probably. The default device shouldn't have any channels on it.

Delete and scan has yielded bringing back the empty Device.  This has caused a new issue preventing reimport.  Import using XC now yields error Failed to download channel list: Value cannot be null (Parameter key).

I'm pretty sure that'll be unrelated to deleting the device and it being recreated. If you want to post the logs, I'll check what's happening.

Understand it's likely unrelated but it is importing list which was previously successfully added.

Does this help narrow it down?

Unfortunately, not really. It does confirm it was in XCWorkerThread, which is what I suspected.

It looks like it's successfully processed a pile of channels before that, but eventually encountered a channel that it doesn't like. Probably missing something it expects, like a name or similar
