Command line switch to UpdateEPG

[christheman]

This one would be more of a minor convenience than anything else. If it would be too much work on your end, then I understand. I just don't know if a command line switch to UpdateEPG exists in the programming or not. Whenever I try to look for command line switches, NPVR just starts the GUI.

When I use XMLTV in conjunction with the UpdateEPG script, the NPVR GUI application can time out, especially with a full channel load. So to be safe I now consider this a two-step process, instead of a one-step process (I run XMLTV independently before UpdateEPG, rather than from the NPVR Scripts).

So I was wondering if I might be able to do it the other way around, start the XMLTV batch file by hand, let it run and complete first, and then let it trigger UpdateEPG via command line. I haven't seen any indication that I might be able to do this. Is this even possible?

Thanks

That's great. I don't think I saw this anywhere, and I did poke around for a fair amount of time on the website and forum.

Thanks! Added to my bookmarks. I don't know how I overlooked that, but I did. I don't think I have ever seen that page before.

No problem, however I'm sure there will be other options which are not in that list - if anybody knows of any, maybe they could add them in...
