I will take a look later when I'm back home.
I will check my code to figure out in what situation this error is generated. That will give me an idea what to suggest to @cyoungers.
@cyoungers it seems that one of your sources is lacking some information that my script is looking for. I'm not sure exactly what it is as it could be one of several things.
In a browser, on the same machine where OliveTin is running, please go to this URL:
192.168.0.11:8089/devices
You should see a lot of text with information about all your sources and channels.
Once this page is fully loaded, please copy the whole content and paste it into a text file.
Then please send it to me at glfbidon-cdvr@yahoo.com
It will be easier for me to troubleshoot this.
Thank you for providing the data, @cyoungers.
After reviewing your data, I immediately identified the issue: your source "EPLUS" has zero channels.
My script did not account for this scenario.
Sorry you ran into this issue and thank you for reporting this.
Thanks to you, this will be fixed in the next version of my script that I'm planning on releasing later today.
Cool. My EPLUS container stopped working awhile ago and I never got around to fixing it. Glad it uncovered this edge case I guess.

I have made changes to the script and I am in the testing phase now.
If everything goes well, I will release a new version tomorrow.
Update 5/11:
Test failed. I broke something in the code. 🫤
Today is a busy day and I probably won't be able to look at it until late evening, if at all.
Maybe tomorrow morning.
Version 3.2.0:
[IMPROVED] Ignore sources that have the "Lineup" field empty
[FIXED] Crash when a new source with zero channels is detected
[NEW] Detect, report, and back up removed sources (in "Deleted_Sources" subdirectory)
@bnhf please integrate in OliveTin at your convenience. 
@chDVRuser sorry for the delay, this is a release that is long overdue with your requested change. 
@cyoungers it should work for you now

Version 3.3.0
[FIXED] Two or more sources each using the same HDHomeRun device model were combined into one source.
Note: sources that use a HDHomeRun device will be reported as new sources the first time this version of the script is run. The names of their channel lineup log files will contain the device IDs to differentiate them in case they use the same HDHomeRun device model.
I really like this idea, so I'm just trying this out in command line on a Windows 11 machine. I'm trying to monitor on a different PC than the one where Channels server is located and I get the error message below.
C:> python channels_dvr_monitor_channels.py -f 15 -i 192.168.88.240

Thank you for the quick response! Installed the module; all is running now and the number of channels in the log for each source I have is the same as what is listed in Channels settings. Thank you again.

Let me know if you can figure out how to enable a start time.
I will be manually removing and adding the one server to check tomorrow.
I have it start at 11:05 and check every 12 hrs
I haven't had enough time yet to sit down and work on my code. 
No rush. Just letting you know that when you do, I'll test it.
