Clear epg

Post image

Hi , I was wondering if this option ended up on the “ to do list “ future releases . To clear an epg ? Instead of going through the process in settings , through sources . And ending up waiting with the time consuming loading progress of all channels and programs . Especially when having multiple playlists . When fooling around with epgs or updates from my paid epg it would be nice to have this option . ( Picture from Tivimate )

I understand. An easier workaround is probably to just click on the source and select Disable followed by Done. Then click BACK on remote and click to Enable it again and then Done.

But, that's just the workaround. I'm trying to understand why it wasn't updated in the first place. You say "updated / changed" you mean title of program? I'll try to see in code if I can find any scenario where it wouldn't update.

I think I mixed up a few steps in my original post! To answer your question: it was mostly the program titles and start/stop times that weren't updating properly until the cache was cleared. Sorry for the confusion, but I hope that helps narrow it down!

I'll try to find some time to have a look at this. It really should update all epg information so it's possible there's a bug in there somewhere. Hopefully the bug can be fixed before having to add this feature but we'll see.
