Can't Get Channel Setup to Map to XMLTV

[SamM]

I got a new computer and installed Next PVR. I'm trying to set up the EPG for xmltv, but it's not working. It's set to default DVB. But when I try to change it to XMLTV, nothing happens after I click Save. I tried it both with individual channels and automap, neither work. What do I do now? Logs attached.

Did you try clicking Settings->Channels->Advanced->AutoMap, and selecting your device type and xmltv lineup? For this to work, it needs the channel names to match.

My experience is numbers work better for auto mapping ATSC but both numbers and names would be dependent on the quality of the xmltv file. I have never seen 141 ATSC channels before so that makes getting a quality source important

There is a second problem too

2022-04-20 15:05:15.629 [DEBUG][117] Unable to process xmltv file: e:\EPG (file not found)
2022-04-20 15:05:15.633 [DEBUG][117] AutoMap found matches for 0 channels

And it doesn't look like automap gives the appropriate error.

This is precisely what I've done, and it doesn't work.

I don't know what's going on. The file xmltv.xml is located at e:\epg. I'm at a loss for what to do.

I finally discovered the problem. I had the xmltv file in e:\epg, but I was mapping it to the folder location instead of the file, which is the reason it was unable to process the file. I finally realized it needed the file name. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh good to know.
