I'm attempting to update the EPG via a batch command and it seems as though NPV isn't running the batch file.

I've placed the file named "UpdateEPG.bat" in the following folder (C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts) and have set the time in the app but it doesn't appear to kick off, any ideas?

The .bat file works as I can manually kick it off and the tvguide.xml file is updated.

If you want to zip and attach your logs, I'll check what's happening at EPG update time.

The usual cause of problems with this is the batch file making assumptions about the current directory, and it's different when run by the app, so executables / paths are sometimes not found until the user adds commands to explicitly set the directory.

I believe I found the culprit, pathing in the batch file, it requires full paths as you suggested.

Many thanks.

VB,
