This weekend I hope to finally get you some logs for the issues I've been seeing with blank channels on my Windows system.
I can tell you that I seems to be related with having multiple channels that have short duration content, e.g. my "Looney Tunes" and "Disney Cartoons" channels, where these are playlists of 200-300 shorts where the content is no longer than 6-7 mins apiece. They are valid in my library with accurate duration info, and they always seem the be the first to go blank after a full clear or reinstall, and then it other channels start to follow, and within a day or two, anywhere from 10-50 of the 120 channels I typically run start blanking out, and clear data actions from the PVR settings only seem to make it worse.
One other thing I should be able to show is when you have both personal and pre-built channels, and the same movie happens to be on currently in both (e.g. "Lethal Weapon" is playing from a default "action moves" genre channel, and also in one of my personal "80's" movies channels at the same time), that choosing one or other from the EPG will take you to the other channel - I selected it from the 80's channel, bring up the menu, and its playing from the action movies channel, or vice versa, action channel takes me to the 80's channel. Weird...
