Update EPG inside Kodi

[hansolo77]

I just re-subscribed to Schedules Direct and would like to update the EPG data inside Kodi. I was able to get NextPVR (on the server side) to update the EPG manually, and when looking inside the EPG (on the server) I see all the data. But all I can see on the Kodi side is a bunch of channels saying "No information available". I had this all set up before, so it's just a simple matter of getting the EPG to download from the server. Is there a way to do this? I've tried rebooting Kodi, and it says it's getting EPG data from NextPVR, but it doesn't load anything. If I manually select a channel, go to "Manage.." there is an option to schedule an EPG update (for that channel only) and it does load the EPG then. Is there a way to do this for all channels in one sweep?

Update... I'm still having difficulties. I upgraded NextPVR (server side) and re-downloaded all the EPG data. It still shows in the software (on the server). I then completely uninstalled and removed all indications of NextPVR from Kodi then reinstalled it. I'm still not getting any guide data (Kodi side). I am able to get channels, and can tune them just fine, just no EPG data.

I'm using the official OpenELEC build 6.0.0 (Raspberry Pi 2) which runs Isengard 15.2. I prefer to use only stable builds, so no nightly's or beta's. This also means no Jarvis.

In the Kodi settings go to TV -> General. From the right menu select CLEAR DATA. That will clear the Kodi database of all channel and EPG data and then force a reload from the client. Once you do that it should happen automatically. When I have Kodi guide data issues that's the first thing I try, and so far it's always solved my problem.

Ok I will try that. It's weird. When I boot up Kodi it acts like it's trying to get the data but just flashes real quick and disappears without updating anything.

EDIT - That worked! Thanks a bunch pkscout! Merry Christmas!
