Command line switch to empty EPG?

[bgowland]

I seem to remember with my old WinXP setup I handled all the epg updates with batch scripts. Am I right in thinking there was an -emptyepg switch and similarly an -
updateepg switch?

As I'm relying on the OTA 7 day epg data I'm sometimes having problems as the start time for some recurring shows is changing. I'd like to empty the epg nightly with a .sh script.

Cheers,
Brian

Since you don't have NextPVR.exe on Linux you depend on NScripthelper which has -updatedateepg as documented on the wiki https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/nscripthelper I never test it, so I am not sure if it is currently working or no. I don't know if there is a way to clear it but I guess you could do it from sqlite3. delete from epg_event;

Better to try and diagnose why you might have to do this.

Okay thanks.

I don't know why it's happening and only know about it when I start watching a recording and find the last 15 minutes of the previous show. It's not a major problem as I'm still using my desktop and only recording stuff I don't care about much.

I would've thought the nightly OTA epg updates would adjust any rescheduled timings but obviously not. If I logon to localhost and manually select empty then update for the epg things are fixed though.
