Channels Settings page stuck on "booting"

you just need to get things running long enough to update. you may need to delete the folder to start fresh so it doesn't crash, then restore the backup to get back your data

OK. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and the settings page populated. I then went to get the 07-19 pre-release and it said it was updating to it, but when it finished updating, it says up to date, and indicates
Version 2022.06.20.0235
Up to date!

Should I proceed with loading in the backup data, or try again to catch your 07-19 pre-release?

OK, refreshed Firefox and now have the 07-19 version displayed.

In getting ready to set the storage setup, when I went to my old location, I get this:
This looks like an existing DVR directory.. Perhaps you'd like to [restore your old settings and recordings instead?

Last time I got this far, I selected this link, but it only presented me with backups from last night, not the one from 07-16 that I had isolated in the backups directory.

You can visit http://127.0.0.1:8089/restore

Just do whatever you did last time and find a good backup to restore and get back your data

I keep getting stuck at the last screen. Even though the 0716 backup (262 rules and 5052 recordings) is 4 days old, Channels thinks it is new. When I try to restore from it, Channels just goes into a never ending loop and never restores this backup, which I believe is very complete. Is there any way to work around this and force Channels to use this 0716 backup? Thanks. For me order of operations, see screenshots, starting with the Welcome back.





I dont know what I did---I wish I did, but on the umpteenth try to restore, it worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
