Some positive feedback. As a geezer who was really unhappy that the 3 Hallmark Channels left TV Everywhere; and are no longer available in my Channels app... I was thrilled with your latest upgrade that provides access to 4 Hallmark channels. Not the same ones as the over-the-air channels; but still really good. Thank you, KineticMan!! Appreciate all your efforts!

I admittedly have more fun poking at and exploring FastChannels than actually watching anything on any of the channels.

Now that's both funny and sobering at the same time. 
Looks like Kaloopy is dead on Distro, sad day…
You can add it back as a Custom channel using the uri found in https://www.apsattv.com/distro.m3u
Thanks to @Apsattv
Thank you Sir, you are a gentleman and scholar.
OR - even cooler to keep in house... Use the sweet Custom Channel function to add it back manually.

Could you explain more about how to use the Community gracenote map?
Trying to understand why when going to source on CDVR and changing refresh to hourly, saving it, and later on viewing that source again it reverts back to daily, appears to happen to Gracenote fast channels sources. Am I missing something?
Post a screenshot of the source settings you're talking about.
If it's a gracenote source, there is no XMLTV Guide Data to refresh.
Okay, took another look and yes no guide data to refresh, probably why when selecting the one hour refresh it reverts back to default of daily when entering back in on later time frames. Was going through all sources in general after setting my Fast Channels feeds and ensuring they were set for one hour, guide data sometimes appears to be unfresh often.
Version 3.9.0 pushed
New Features
- Clock-aligned scrape scheduling — sources can now be scheduled to align to clock boundaries cron-style; currently could be different depending on when container was built/restarted)
EPG/XML Improvements:
- Program type detection — movie/episode classification added across 9+ scrapers (Plex, Xumo, TCL, and more); propagates into XMLTV output
- TMS program IDs — captured and emitted as in XMLTV for richer guide data (not all sources have this)
- XMLTV series/episode identity — series_id and episode_id fields added for guide matching
- Bally Sports live events — live flag surfaced in EPG
Mobile view:
- Mobile channel updates - admin/channels page is now usable on mobile (not as rich as desktop, but good for viewing/testing). Few other mobile polishes.
Bug Fixes & Polish
- Server URL UX — auto-suggests detected address, warns when port is missing. For users that use port proxying (port was required in the past).
- Vidaa channel ID migration cleanup from earlier version, fixed some filters not interacting well with each other, custom channel detection/proxying improvements, server URL false warnings, feed XML race condition, and general admin UI cleanup (button layouts, tooltips, Gracenote cell now fits all 6 digits, stat card labels, category corrections).

Having an error ":" failed to load m3u: no channels found in m3u" fall Ruko feed, add about 39 channels and could see the feed listed the 39 channels, but when adding feed to channels I get the following error.
That’s bizarre. Have you added a feed with that button before?
Correct my understanding if I'm getting this wrong, but it seems like to me that if a station is disabled for not being scrape-able, should it come back later (like below), FastChannels will not re-enable it automatically?
If that's so, that will be an issue, especially for Pluto and Plex as they roll the same stations in and out all the time. Things like Star Trek, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes comes to mind.
