How to Trigger EPG Import?

[banshee2005]

I am currently using 7.0.1.241229.  The EPG scheduled update doesn't seem to work for me, so I run a nightly job using the Windows scheduler.  That job does update the epg.xml successfully.  But how do I then tell nextpvr to import guide data from the updated epg.xml file?

I tried restarting nextpvr at the end of the update script thinking that would trigger it, but found that I got no EPG data at all doing it that way.  I'm sure there is a simple way to do it, but searches seemed to only turn up methods that worked in older nextpvr versions.  

How can I trigger NextPVR to import guide data from the updated epg.xml?

Typically you download an epg in the UpdateEPG script when it isnt linked with a web URL. If it doesn't works with the epg update the xmltv mapping is wrong.

Then schedule multiple update times

...the downloading is working with UpdateEPG script, and I guess since I get all the guide information after a manual update, that means that the mapping is also correct?  Right?  When I manually run the update using Settings -> Update EPG, everything works fine and guide is updated.  But under Guide -> Automatic EPG Update is set for 02:44:00, and that part doesn't seem to work.  I even re-installed Windows 11 and NPVR, but exact same thing happens.  I think I must be missing something fundamental.
