Anything change recently? Have you tried clearing cache in the settings screen? Can you also check the daemon (lbrynet) version in Help.

[oakey22]

the only thing i changed was upgrading to the new app.

App | 0.15.1
Daemon (lbrynet) | 0.15.2
Platform | Linux (Linux-4.4.0-93-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-16.04-xenial)

[oakey22]

Tried 0.15.0 and it is the same, i am now back on 0.15.1

I used the lbrynet-cli channel_list_mine and it displays all my channel names.

[tzarebczan]

And you've tried clearing the cache too? Can you provide your latest lbrynet.log file to see if there are any clues there.

[oakey22]

lbrynet (copy).txt
I tried clearing the cache, the log is added to this post, i also edited out my balance

[unclejed613]

I'm having a similar problem with 0.15.1. When I try to publish, the channel drop down is all blacked out. clearing the cache fixes it until the next time I publish, so I have to clear the cache and restart the app every time I want to publish. I'm running the app on Ubuntu linux.

@unclejed613 I think your issue is a little different - probably more rendering related. Are you using a VM or a regular desktop? Using remote desktop software?

If you open up developer tools ( Developer > Tools from the top menu bar), do you see any errors these while clicking the drop down?

[tzarebczan]

@oakey22 - I do see something related to UPNP failures in your log, but it most likely wouldn't cause this issue. Do you have UPNP enabled on your router? It's trying to use port 4444 by default. It may cause some streaming issues if it fails.

Otherwise, same question to you, are you using a VM/remote desktop or is this a regular desktop? I wonder if its somehow related to some graphical issues.

[oakey22]

I have checked the router and UPNP is enabled, i am also running this on linux desktop.

I dont get a black box, i just get nothing other than Anonymous and New channel, neither do anything and i get the updating channels ... all the time underneath

[tzarebczan]

@oakey22 - does this still happen in v16?

[oakey22]

Still happening in v16RC7 for me

[tzarebczan]

Rouse is also having the same issue, I'll try to troubleshoot with him.

[tzarebczan]

@kauffj below is the line it's happening on > 35209 in bundle.js - var name = _ref.name; line

        this.props.channels.map(function (_ref) {
          var name = _ref.name;
          return _react2.default.createElement(
            "option",
            { key: name, value: name },
            name
          );
        }),
        _react2.default.createElement(
          "option",
          { key: "new", value: "new" },
          __("New channel...")
        )
      ));

[oakey22]

Can confirm that this is working now with the above change
