I've been having a few issues with my epg being out of sync etc., got up today and all the EPG data had gone except for free to air channels so I'm going to delete and start from new in case there is issues with the setup of the crossepg or something along those lines. My question is how to I completely delete it and start from scratch I noticed some people talking about putting the box to sleep which I don't have a clue about.

Many thanks

PS I'm running the latest image.

Better to say the build number instead of "latest".

You should be able to just delete the EPG from the load/save/delete option in the EPG menu. Ther will be no need to put box to sleep then. However that did not work for someone. Not sure if they had EPG saved in more than one place and it was somehow loading an old version.

Thanks

Paste this command in Putty. Overkill, but should remove all instances of epg.dat.



init 4 && sleep 10 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb2/epg.dat && init 3

Use DCC to remove.

Use DCC to remove.
Much easier to use both ways Abu pointed out above.

Yes, it is overkill. "EPG delete" deletes the epg.dat and the epg cache from the RAM. I.e. no EPG data can survive this operation.

I give this a go yesterday as my epg went gobbledegook and it wiped everything including all recordings on hdd, box crashed and wouldnt boot, had to do a clean install as it wiped my usb as well with back ups on, this on a xtrend 10k youve been warned.

Your mounts aren't set-up correctly. No recordings or back-ups were wiped.

Yes all gone mounts fine everything wiped just checked for files in dcc nothing blank page.
the way i normally do it is init 4 delete epg.dat then init 3 just thought i would give the way described a try:(

I tell you what i done i copied and pasted this into telnet
init 4 && sleep 10 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb2/epg.dat && init 3

The box wouldnt boot so i switched it off on the rocker switch waited arounda minute box wouldnt reboot left on xtrend splash page until i flashed it to the newest image i was on 026 fresh flashed 030 give it a go :eek:

Still, doing that didn’t do anything other than remove EPG.

Well, if you typed the command rm -rf /media by mistake you would wipe out everything mounted on /media. Are you sure you didn't split the string when you were copying and pasting?
"rm -rf" is a very dangerous command on a linux box if misused.

You have probably answered it then something may have gone wrong when i cut and paste, it doesnt take long to get up and running again its just the recordings plenty of repeats so should come across them sometime:thumbsup:
