Channels randomly changing EPG associations by themselves.

[stat]

This one has been bugging me for months and months, it just happened again and its annoying. It happens maybe 2/3 times a week. I look at the EPG table and see "No listings" on one channel or sometimes two channels. At the moment I have 3.
So each time I go the the channels page and I see the channel has randomly changed to a different channels' XMLTV data. All by itself, how can this happen if I havent touched anything? Do I need less channels or something? I have maybe 50 channels, from a single source and a single XMLTV file.
At least 10 months its been like this.

So the solution I have to do each time, is to delete ALL the channels, reload them, then add back EPG data, which also loses the upcoming recording that I have to set up again.

Sorry you didn't provide any information on type of tuner, your XMLTV source etc or the logs. I expect you are using IPTV and the provider is changing the field that links between the XMLTV file and the m3u file. Perhaps you are also rescanning which might also require remapping.

Here are the logs. I'm paying to use IPTV editor for the epg.
When I see a ramdom channel associated with a channel in NextPVR, there is dropdown list of 15 of my channels, who chooses those 15 channels to edit from? If I have 50 channel in total.
And why are the channels changing by themseles?

The channels come from your XMLTV file, there should be one for every channel. Perhaps share your XMLTV file via an external link I don't know what this message means

I do see in your recurring recordings

2024-01-23 17:40:54.856 [ERROR][46] Channel not found. OID=100740. Name=CHANNEL 5
2024-01-23 17:40:54.900 [ERROR][46] Channel not found. OID=100739. Name=CHANNEL 4
2024-01-23 08:44:39.184 [ERROR][69] Channel not found. OID=100018. Name=4 SEVEN

I also see you have these now, so somewhere the channel names did change.

2024-01-23 08:44:35.214 [INFO][69] -channel: 'CH 4' has 245 listings
2024-01-23 08:44:35.320 [INFO][69] -channel: 'CH 5' has 322 listings
2024-01-23 08:44:35.720 [INFO][69] -channel: '4 SEVEN ' has 179 listings <- note trailing space.
