@HankLloydRight ... Cloudflare blocking of nocords.xyz from VPNs (Windscribe, Torguard) seems to have been activated recently. Can this be undone or do I need to go back to using a docker?
It's not recent -- it's been this way since the site launched. It's to prevent common hacking attacks from countries and questionable datacenters that are used for nefarious VPNs. I'm sorry to say that it won't change.
Change DNS providers. Open DNS provides security without the denial of service.
I'm not sure how changing DNS providers would change the originating IP address of the client or VPN node.
I did not notice the VPN. Is there a reason he needs to tunnel to nocords.zyz? He could make an exception if he understands VPN routing.
[SOLVED] Thanks to @Morris_Altman for correctly identifying that changing the DNS provider used by my VPN would get around this new Cloudflare caused problem. Nocords, which had previously, reliably worked with both of my VPN providers for more than a year, is now accessible again.
Thanks to @HankLloydRight for providing the nocords.xyz site to make ChannelsDVR easier to utilize.

I'm using my VPN to get around CGNAT in order to allow ChannelsDVR remote streaming. Therefore, my DVR server is connected via VPN. Maybe you are suggesting that I could have used split-tunneling in my VPN to direct traffic to nocords.xyz outside of my VPN. I didn't try this, but I'm betting that would have worked as well. Thanks again.
Correct, I was suggesting split tunneling as the alternate. Glad you are up and running.

Yes. If you were previously using the Cloudflare DNS, I could see how you were being blocked at that step and changing it to an alternate would solve the issue.

Sorry to gravedig but... Channels says 0 channels for the Pluto Source. Right around whatever happened with cloudflare. How do I fix this? No VPN or anything silly. I logged into safari and checked the box to verify with cloudflare, but am unsure what else needs to be done???
Send me your IP address in a private message and I'll look into it. You are likely behind some sort of firewall or going through AWS.
T H A N K Y O U !!!!! I liked the concept of getting Pluto into my mix but I really wasn't interested in learning to make containers in Docker. Where's you tip jar????

Wow, that's odd. Will investigate. thanks.
Ok, it's working now. But I have no clue whatsoever why it stopped working. Not a clue. Nothing changed with this app for months.

working now... I've only been using it since April, it has been rock-solid always... First noticed this morning when I went to do my daily recording setup to find the guide data missing.
I can't figure it out. At 5am this morning the site just stopped refreshing the m3u and epg files and served nothing. Still no clue as to why.

Is this not working for anyone else?
Listings and streams fine here, 23 mins after you posted.
[edit] on Pluto anyhow, don't use Stirr.
