Command line options

What command line options does N-PVR support? I'm sure I've seen an update EPG one mentioned but can't remember the exact format?

This one seems to work for me. It's the only one I know of.

"C:\Program Files\NPVR\NextPVR.exe" -updateepgonly

Added. Thanks.

Is there a command line method to empty the EPG? Then I assume I can use the above command to update it. I am finding that epg duplicates & missing updates (i.e. changes to scheduled programs aren't appearing in the NPVR epg with an update - they do appear with an empty EPG followed by an update) are getting annoying & I'm manually emptying the EPG & then updating it every few days now. Would be lovely if this process could be automated.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is also "-emptydb" to do exactly what it implies.

-emptydb will clear your entire database, but I seem to remember that there is an "-emptyepgonly" option.

Thanks - seems to be working ok - I'll report back if there are any hassles.

.bat file chucked into scheduled tasks every morning in the wee hours & I've knobbled the update epg in NPVR settings.

Code:

$ cat epg.bat
@echo off
C:
"C:\Program Files\NPVR\NextPVR.exe" -emptyepgonly
"C:\Program Files\NPVR\NextPVR.exe" -updateepgonly
