New Install of 7..0.3.250920 can't update schedules

[Gary7254]

I have used these forums in the past but just registered to post,  I have used NextPVR ever since Microsoft quit supporting updates for Windows Media Center.  I am moving from an old Win10 computer to a new Win11 computer.
 
My old original 5.0 install on my old Win10 computer, updated regularly and recently to 7.0.3.250920, is working fine updating its program schedules manually and automatically correctly using Schedules Direct.  This computer is using a very old Hauppauge 4 tuner card from 2 computers ago with a second hard drive for storage.
 
The new computer is using a HD Homerun 4 tuner device and I installed the HDHR software scanned for channels and it works as it should, but I prefer NextPVR.  I then installed NextPVR 7.0.3.250920, scanned for channels and all looked well on all 4 tuners with my normal lineup of channels. I put in my username and password to get updates but it will not update its programs schedule.  One odd thing is when I go to put in the password in NextPVR the default display has a blank something like ** *****.  I doubt that has anything to do with this, but its odd.
 
I can log into my Schedules Direct account and my username and password are working on the old computer so they must be correct.  But, when I try to update my program schedules I get the finished indication, but it shows 0 loaded, 0 updated and nothing appears in the guide.  As per one post here I did Automap the channels first to none and then to local lineup on Schedules Direct, but that did not help.  I am guessing from there being nothing to map.  I had read that having both HDHR and NextPVR will likely work, but is this creating a problem that is messing up the NextPVR's ability to update?  My next move may be to uninstall HDHR, but I would prefer not dong that.  I am reluctant to copy the data files from my old computer to my new one since it is using completely different tuners which might cause issues.

One last thing.  I went to the before you post instructions on posting my logs.  I could not find a "Go Advanced" button to push so I zipped the files and copied them to the Attachments box.
 
Thank you for any assistance you might offer.

First you need to map you channels to SD right now they are mapped to OTA which is the default and you should have set up SD before scanning. To do this you need to go into Settings->Channels-> Advanced Tool and Automap them to None then to Schedules Direct.

OTA would have worked but you haven't installed the Silicondust software on this PC which would be required.

Finally if you need to send logs, send the zip file that NextPVR makes for you on the main web setting page. I appreciate logs though not all users do it and it saves us a lot of work.

I actually earlier tried the mapping to none than to SD, but noting happened. I did it again a few minutes ago and it worked so you nailed the biggest issue. Thanks
I have installed HD Homerun on this computer and it is working fine. I see that the SD config.exe couldn't be found in your reply. Do I need to find and get this software installed?
And last I am one of those guys who many ask about computer stuff. I was an MSMVP for many years, but I must be slipping. :-) I assumed when the setting page said "Where do I find the log files" it would just point to the Users\Public\NPVR-data folder which I was already aware. I had no idea it was a really great tool to create the zipped log files. If I may, I might suggest to change the simple label on the button of "Log Files" to "Create Zipped Log Files". This is one of the best tools I have seen for those unacquainted with these forums that I just skipped over not realizing what it would do for me.
Thanks again.

You probably installed the Silicondust viewer app only and not the utilities.

If you had clicked Help how to get the logs is explained there. Also if you had read the wiki on getting help that is all explained. https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/get-help too Getting users to read the documentation is certainly a problem.
