Hello,

i recognise an EPG update problem at a friend of mine, who uses nextpvr via DVB-S in germany.

Following situation:

Some stations have EPG for a long time in the future (14 days). The current few days are filled with detailed information, from day 6 - 14 only basic inforamtion is provided.

Now to the problem:

NPVR does an EPG scan every night (default), but it does not update the additional information that is added to the show as the time comes closer. This problem always exists. So on these channels, you only have basic info, because detailed info is never loaded via update.

If i delete the EPG info, and do a rescan, all EPG detail is visibible. Then it takes a few days -> same problem again, bacause the original basic info (only title) is not updated with the detail information.

It would be very nice, if this could be fixed in the future, so that if detailed infos gets available, if it broadcasted. 

Thanks, Peter

Hmm, it doesn't ever update existing listings, but it should be deleting any existing TV listing and replacing them when it rescans each night.

This behaviour is since we use NPVR, this for some years now. It is completely reproduceable.

Perhaps an option would help -> delete before update. Would be quite simple, but could help.

The problem is -> listing exists (basic info) and so it does not get updated. Updating would be perfekt, but the workaround mentioned could also help.

In all other things, NPVR is absolutely perfekt for us. Thanks for this great program!

As far as I know, it should be doing that already.

There are a couple of posts for Kotoko with EPG update problems on Windows for specific channels that may also be related.

Hi sub, we tested it for a few days, but the behavior is still the same.

Is there a possibility to simply get an option, to delete all EPG data before updating at night? If i do this manually, the EPG is corrct, but would be nice to have this automated.

As far as I can see, it looks like it is emptying the EPG for any channels it receives data for.

There is nothing to stop your creating an UpdateEPG.bat which runs the following. This will be run immediately prior to NextPVR doing the normal UpdateEPG processing.

Code:
nscripthelper.exe -service:method=system.epg.empty
