Provider updates EPG once every 30 mins. How to ensure NextPVR gets the new EPG

[Paul92]

Hi all

Title as above.

Basically one of my providers updates the EPG once every hour. 

The EPG, and playlist is generated on a remote machine, and the regenerates every 30 mins, and obviously NextPVR doesn't update that frequently which leads to EPG eventually not being displayed.

Is there any way to get that EPG to update automatically. I was thiking perhaps running it through XMLTV or something which feeds the EPG into a file, which obviously automatically updates, and I point NPVR to use the generated file, or am I missing something.

Thanks

Do they only give you like an hour of listings at a time? If so, that's useless for PVR type use - I'd look for another EPG source.

If they're giving you multiple days, and just adding an additional show to the end of the list ever hour or so, then I just wouldn't bother updating more than once a day. (I doubt they're updating anything else meaningful with that frequency)

Honestly don't think it'd be worth updating the EPG that often. You could do it a few times a day if you want to though, by comma separating the times in the Settings screen.

Please can this be closed - I have resolved to manually creating the EPG from scratch. No longer depending on that EPG source.
