| Post subject: | Channel guide force update? |
I've been searching for instructions on how to force update our channel guide. The pc's initial network connection was lost due to a faulty router. As a result the channel guide displays 'unknown' for all channels and shows. Are there instructions out there to force update the channel guide? I have a current Zap2It account, and was able to successfully retrieve channel listings originally. |

I see this is your first post. Have you tried "mythfilldatabase"? |

Run "mythfilldatabase --help" to see other options. |

I was assuming that the backend would run mythfilldatabase automatically. Am I correct? If so, my backend does not seem to be doing this. I've been running my backend for about two weeks and today my guide info runs out. Is there a setting that I missed? Or do I have to run mythfilldatabase manually every week? |

Yes. In setup, General. It's the last page. |

It should be set up by default. If it's not you had an install problem of some kind, possibly a bad burn. If it is set to run mythfilldatabase and that's not working you most likely botched something when mythtv-setup ran. Rerun the setup program (search the forum for full directions) and make sure you've got the account information setup correctly. Note that running it the first time is a bit different because you need to download and select your lineup(s). |

Thanks for the pointers. It wasn't clear if you meant mythtv-setup or mythfrontend setup, so I looked in both, and it was in mythfrontend setup/General, 7th (last screen). I don't remember doing anything in setting up anything that wasn't default, but maybe I just screwed up. Thanks for the help. |

If we are talking about running mythfilldatabase automatically, I don't think so, at least not on any of the fresh installs I've done. Which suits me fine because I have to cron a manual mythfilldatabase script to get my EPG. |
