No worries, it is still more than useable. Take your time
..besides it seems to be only effecting 2 of us for now, so it may be something on our systems. Many thanks for all the work you are and have been putting in!

i am using openelec on a few systems and i tried them all. all of them build 49 channels out of 60.
after 4 hours it created only 49 and wouldnt continue. from 40-60 are all playlists so number 50 isnt different from 49.
i tried NFS, SMB and locally on the machine. the same outcome on all options.

Why are you running openelec? are you running on a low power pc or raspberry? did you install openelec on a hard drive or class 10 sd card?

i have a few endpoints in various rooms.
openelec is the best solution since the install and maintenance is very easy to do and since i use those endpoints as media centers only, i dont need the extra xbmcubuntu overhead.

the machine that acctually populate the channels is a strong machine with ssd and 8 gb ram.



just checked the logs on the channels that got stuck and i got this
