Can't edit Channel Metadata

[codechurn 12]

I am attempting to edit channel metadata via the browser, however when I select the operation I get an endless spinner. Looking in the Emby server logs I see the following:

Hi there, please attach the complete emby server log. Thanks.

There is a lot of stuff going on in that log file..... are you sure you want the whole thing?

@codechurn If it is reproducible you can go to scheduled tasks rotate log and reproduce the issue and post log.

[codechurn 12]

Definitely reproducible. Here is a log file with just that action captured and trace mode turned on.

Also, I noticed that Emby throws an error when following junctions on Windows. I have this and some other scan errors in the original log file. I can share it as well, but like I said... there is a lot of stuff going on in there.

@codechurn one of your xml providers is returning malformed xml. If you can remove that one from Emby Server, then that should resolve this issue.

I think you are spot on. I think there must have been some bad data being output by EPG123 for a program. After a few days the problem went away.
