    Remove EPG

    On OpenVix image, you can remove old EPG data by doing the following:

    Menu / Setup / System / EPG / Load-Save-Delete / Delete EPG

    For some people this does not work, especially if they have mount issues. This plugin/script is to stop Enigma2, find all instances of EPG.dat and Crossepg folder and delete it/them. Thanks to Birdman for the assistance
    You will have to configure CrossEPG downloader again.

    ***DO NOT OPERATE WHEN RECORDINGS ARE TAKING PLACE***

    Please uninstall after using it to prevent accidental operation. Ideally I would have liked to add a prompt before executing.

    There is a plugin called system tools which does similar thing but not as thoroughly.


    For those interested, contents of script is:
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    # Find all relevant mount-points and delet epg
    #
    get_mounts() {
        mount | awk '$5 ~ "vfat|^ext" {print $3}'
    }
    
    echo "Receiver will stop, delete EPG and restart automatically"
    sleep 3
    init 4
    sleep 10
    rm -f /etc/enigma2/epg.dat
    for mp in `get_mounts`; do
        rm -f ${mp}/epg.dat  
        rm -rf ${mp}/crossepg
    done  
    init 3

    To install:
    Transfer to /tmp
