it's my test machine so no hurry.
Wondering if this change has anything to do with the failure since HOST_DIR was X:/ before.
Yes but mine does not fail from my local Win PC and I'm using Data as HOST_DIR.
Is X:/ by chance a mapped drive not local to that test machine? Just throwing out ideas here.
This is my Production using the Original Olivetin ... So it appears to be something with the EZStart.... My Production and Test are Setup the same exact way.

I installed CDVR server on the Windows laptop I have with me (so I could test with OliveTin locally), and the problem I saw appears to be with the most recent version of Portainer. I wasn't able to deploy OliveTin using Windows paths for DVR_SHARE or LOGS_SHARE, which has been possible before (@TerryD is using them for example).
Fortunately, the fix appears to be easy, which is to use the WSL2 Linux path. So for you, that would be:
DVR_SHARE=/mnt/x/DVR
LOGS_SHARE=/mnt/c/ProgramData/ChannelsDVR
Could you give that a try?

I might see what's happening here. When you run EZ-Start, just use those two env vars. Then, run the OliveTin Environment Variables Generator/Tester Action. That Action, produces a new list of env vars to use. So you want to stop the olivetin stack and replace those two env vars with the new list.
I still think you'll need you'll need to use the Linux-style paths with the latest version of Portainer, so be sure to do that.
Spin-up the container again, and then do the Post-Install Healthcheck.
That did it reset with 2 variables then used the /mnt/ and it is working now.
OOPs spoke tooo soon was looking at my production when I did healthcheck. Not working ...

That probably means you're using the Docker Desktop Portainer Extension, which is not the same as the full version. The full version is installed from the Linux command line.
EDIT: Also, be sure you have "Integration" enabled in Docker Desktop with your default distro -- once you get it installed.
I installed using this from cmd line ...
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9001:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data cr.portainer.io/portainer/portainer-ce:latest
Try using HOST_DIR=X: (no slashes)
If you want the olivetin config directory to be X:\olivetin
Installing appends these directories to the HOST_DIR path X:
/olivetin for the olivetin config directory and /olivetin/data for the Static File Server.
So those would become X:/olivetin and X:/olivetin/data
EZStart just refuses to work copying the old Compose works.... I am giving up for now have chores to.
I noticed when I put in the Variables VIA Olivetin when I look at the Stack the variables are not there.
template parsing error: template: :1:8: executing "" at <.Mounts>: map has no entry for key "Mounts"
Is it because you changed the HOST_DIR env var ?
Maybe docker can't mount a Windows drive letter and needs a directory.
If so, try creating a X:\docker directory in Windows and using HOST_DIR=X:/docker or HOST_DIR=/mnt/x/docker
I don't and won't use docker on Windows, so just an educated guess.
It seems like this version of Portainer no longer supports Windows paths, so I agree with @chDVRuser, make sure you're using Linux paths across the board -- including TUBEARCHIVIST_SHARE, even if you're not using it. Either delete the value, or set if the same as DVR_SHARE.
Looks like you're getting there!
I'm sure many docker newbies will appreciate this approach to getting OliveTin for Channels up and running.
