Feature request: Do not import same MXF twice

If there's an error (e.g., a glitch with the Schedules Direct server), EPG123 logs the error, but still imports the MXF from over 24 hours ago into WMC. This seems like a huge waste of time. Perhaps, before creating the MXF, EPG123 can delete or rename the old one? That way, in case of an error, there won't be an old MXF lying around to import.

I already modify my scheduled task to delete the MXF, but I thought you might want EPG123 to do it. Thanks for considering it.

Doesn't it take a minute or so to import an mxf? For me it is at 2ish am and I'm not there to care.

Your machine is probably more souped-up than my media server. :thumbup: Mine churns on that MXF for probably 10-15 minutes. Yeah, it's not the end of the world, but it's a waste of time that can easily be prevented. Mine goes off at 7:45 AM so I'm awake to catch any errors my monitoring software tosses to my phone. If I want to run EPG123 again, I have to wait for that reindexing to finish.
