Cool, I will.

#47

Loads and plays great but still no guide.

#48

Do you have other custom m3u channels sources?
Look at http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/lineups
Should show

{
  "M3U-frndlyTV": "X-M3U",
  "M3U-frndlyTVNoEpg": "XMLTV-frndlyTVNoEpg",
  "VIRTUAL": "X-VIRTUAL"
}

and http://127.0.0.1:8089/devices should show both frndly sources

{
    "Provider": "m3u",
    "DeviceID": "M3U-frndlyTV",
    "FriendlyName": "frndly-TV",
    "ModelNumber": "HDHRCOMPAT-1",
    "Lineup": "X-M3U",
    "Channels": 
  },
  {
    "Provider": "m3u",
    "DeviceID": "M3U-frndlyTVNoEpg",
    "FriendlyName": "frndly-TVNoEpg",
    "ModelNumber": "HDHRCOMPAT-1",
    "Lineup": "XMLTV-frndlyTVNoEpg",
    "Channels":

{
"Provider": "m3u",
"DeviceID": "M3U-FUTV",
"FriendlyName": "FUTV",
"ModelNumber": "HDHRCOMPAT-1",
"Lineup": "X-M3U",
"Channels": [

This is the new one that is text file based.

Under lineups:

"M3U-FUTV": "X-M3U"

If that's the only custom m3u source you have, I've no idea what's stopping Channels DVR.

The errors are saying station id:1
I don't see any channel-id, tvg-id or tvc-guide-stationid equal to one in your playlist.

I would submit diagnostics from the dvr server.

#52

I have other custom sources.

#53

That's what I asked you.

#54

You are saying another source is screwing this one?

#55

Most likely.
See if the playlists for your other sources have a station id of 1.
Most likely tvc-guide-stationid

#56

Great, I will.

#57

What is the easiest way to do that?

#58

Look at the other sources playlists.

#59

I’m looking into this.

I finally got it working!
I removed all the sources I no longer use.
I changed the channel numbers of my virtual channels.

#61

Thanks for holding my hand. It works!

#62

The channels not working in Channel Collections should have been a red flag. It was likely a channel numbering issue. Thanks again @chDVRuser and everyone else with helping!

#63

I'm assuming, but would like to know if the error messages meant he had a source using
tvc-guide-stationid="1"

#64

Yes, it does mean that. The m3u is definitely doing something wrong, but we shouldn't bail on indexing the guide at all just because of that. In trying to fix other issues with guide indexing, we started to surface too many errors as fatal here.
