I usually record all the Olympics coverage on all the broadcast/cable networks. Just in case you had any doubts that I was crazy.
In any case, the Olympics schedule changes quite rapidly, so I would like a way to keep the listings as up to date as I can (although I know it will never be able to be 100% accurate due to propagation delays).
One problem with EPG123 is that it will not update the guide if there is a recording in progress. Since Olympic coverage is 24/7, there will pretty much never be a time when there is no recording in progress, so the plan is to do manual updates at least once a day and force it to update the WMC database while I watch it to resolve any potential issues with the in-progress recordings.
My plan is to disable the normal automatic update in the Task Scheduler and set up a batch file that I can run manually to do the update, but I want to be sure I am using the correct options in order to force the client to update the WMC database. I also believe you've said in the past that -nogc is auto-enabled if you use the "-f" option, but I included it anyway just to be sure (and I assume it will do no harm).
Here is what I plan to use, please let me know if you see anything wrong:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\epg123\epg123.exe" -update
"C:\Program Files (x86)\epg123\epg123Client.exe" -i "C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123\output\epg123.mxf" -match -nogc -verbose -f
