[QUOTE="ChaosMageX, post: 1261901, member: 155771"] I've finally finished mapping all the channels were scanned from my HDHomeRun over-the-air and cable tuners, which amounts to over 600. I forgot to calculate the exact number because not every channel had a matching channel in the tvguide.xml file retrieved from my Schedules Direct subscription, but most of the 649 total channels I have did have a match in the EPG data. My question is: Can the plugin even handle writing the guide for that many channels? I'm asking because after I finished mapping, and then saved it and then reloaded/refreshed it to make sure it was saved, and then clicked the Import button under the General tab, the TV Setup application is now unresponsive and has been for nearly an hour now. I'm really worried, because it's even more unresponsive than apps normally are, because it doesn't even have the (Unresponsive) in its title, but it isn't responding to my clicks. I can't even move the window around the screen, as it seems to be stuck in place. Now the close and minimize buttons in the upper right corner are weirdly flickering and I've never seen an application do that before on Windows 10, or any other version of Windows for that matter. It's also running on a rather powerful computer with a NVMe SSD, an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU, and 16 GB of RAM, so it shouldn't be freezing up like this if it's just a matter of the amount of data to process. EDIT: Well, it seems to have finally finished, and I can actually click stuff in the TV Setup application and move the window around the screen again. Checking the client application, it appears to have successfully imported the data for all the mapped channels. Still, why would it take that long on a SSD with a 1.5 GB/s linear read speed and a random read speed around 800 MB/s, along with a 6/12 core 3.2 GHz CPU, and 12 GB of the 16 GB of RAM available and ready to use? Are there logs somewhere that I can check and see why it took so long? [/QUOTE]
