Schedulesdirect will not update..

[shortputt]

I try to update sd guide and it just says LOADING like it is in a loop.

[mvallevand]

Did you map your channels to the SD guide on Settings->Guide first. If you are coming from XMLTV or another source you need to Automap to None first then Automap to your lineup. Thos that don't automap need to be mapped individually

If you continue to have problems upload the zipped logs.

My EPG for SD has been available on their website for years..I don't know which logs you want if needed.

[mvallevand]

On the page were you clicked "Update EPG", click "Log Files"

Looks like you don't have NextPVR configured for internet access through the firewall or VPN.

Also some of your channels are configured for OTA EPG too so once you get the Internet working you need to map these channels to None and then automap to your SD lineup;

Somehow we are missing my problem. 10 days ago my schedule direct OTA guide dissappeared.. I went to channels page to reload it and found it to be in a LOADING cycle and will not let me load a schedule.. I talked to person at schedules direct and he said it looked like NPVR was trying to get schedule and that may explain why it says it is in loading cycle. Prior to this everything has been working fine. Appears to me that I need some kind of reset or uninstall npvr and reinstall.

Send logs when your PC isn't blocking Internet access and I can look again. You already hurt yourself by remapping your tuner to OTA.

As Martin said, the errors in your log files indicate that something on your computer is preventing NextPVR from connecting to SchedulesDirect:

And this isn't strictly a SD problem since your logs show the same error when NextPVR is attempting to discover HD HomeRun devices at startup.

You need to figure out what is causing that "An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions." error. The first suspect would be firewall or anti-virus software blocking NextPVR's network access. But it seems like it could also be caused by things like the socket already being in use or being blocked.

I presume that you tried rebooting the computer already, but if not, you might try that.

Also, are you expecting that all of your channels would be getting their EPG data from Schedules Direct? Also, as Martin said, your logs indicate that several channels are configured to use DVB/ATSC EPG and that NextPVR is scanning several frequencies to get listings when the EPG update runs. Maybe that is a clue as to what changed?
