NextPVR v7 Not retaining established SD source on EPG sources page

[acadng]

Hello NextPVR users & "old heads!"

After 25 years with a satellite provider "I have seen the light." I am also a new SD account holder and a new user of NextPVR Ver. 7. I have a simple private LAN setup whereas I use a NON-INTERNET connected router to access NextPVR & Kodi via my laptop running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 with a slim down (all apps disabled or unstalled....except for Kore remote app for Kodi Nexus) android Motorola Pla. I am using Hauppauge Dual USB tuner connected to the laptop. This ensures a closed system. This setup works very well. I use my Samsung S25 Ultra cellphone to temporarily activate its hotspot & then using the FireFox browser on laptop to update my SD EPG. After SD EPG is downloaded and channels are populated I deactivate the hotspot & then reconnect laptop's wireless network back to the router. This closed process works well. However, when I "switch" back & forth between the two accesses NextPVR does not retain my SD EPG source link. I can establish it and reassign it to all my local channels while connected to my hotspot...then I turn off hotspot and return my laptop back to the my close LAN....all works until I once again open the browser to access NextPVR via my hotspot thu my laptop...my SD EPG source is no longer listed on the EPG sources page. My SD login info is still shown on the Guide page. I even have re-entered my SD login credentials & selected the button to reload/refresh my SD source. No action occurs. I have closed FIreFox and re-open & even refreshed the browser. I have also tried another browser...same outcome. I tried several uninstalls/re-installs and always made sure I selected "remember me" at NextPVR login. I have also read/reviewed a great source (user manual )for NextPVR (Page Index - sub3/NextPVR GitHub Wiki).  It seems like NextPVR is not retaining OR is there something with SD access that is forcing NextPVR to not retain my selected SD EPG source when switching from my hotspot connection to my closed LAN?

My goal is to have my SD EPG source retained in NextPVR and also assigned to each of my local channels not matter if I switch between my closed LAN or using my cellphone hotspot to update SD EPG or not. Unfortunately, I have to re-assign the SD EPG source to each channel every time I switch accesses.

Any insight/information/workaround/NextPVR configuration file adjustments/ or other would be greatly appreciated!

If you aren't using a static IP, SD will block you because IPTV pirates were abusing these accounts. If that is the problem contact SD here https://www.schedulesdirect.org/lineupsupport and they can make exceptions for some legitimate uses cases.

Martin,

Thank you for your quick and very insightful (knowledge) as to why I was experiencing that situation. It definitely makes sense since my "private" LAN system has static IP addresses for the router and my laptop. Since my cellphone is not, as we all know it is dynamic. I will definitely contact SD to how we can move forward. Again, thank you.
