How to reset TVGuide settings?

diogenesx · 2006-03-25, 18:47

Hello all,
I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I had a hard time choosing.

I was just wondering if there is a way to erase all my settings for the TVGuide in mediaportal. I've set it up to record to much and my drive is filling up way to quickly. I want to remove some of the shows I have set it to record (I tend to use "Record this everytime on this channel"). I can't figure out how to undo a 'record everytime' setting. I can only get it to not record the particular episode I've right-clicked on. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to just erase all my tvguide settings.

Also, is there any way to set mediaportal to not record the same episode twice. For example, I have Iron Chef set to record every episode, but they will play the same episode four times in one day, so I have four copies of each particular episode, I'd love to be able to stop this from happening.

Thanks for your time and help.

Sincerely,
Kyle

If you cannot delete them from Scheduled recordings section in mytv, you can delete tvdatabase.db3 from the database directory. That will cause a loss of everything tv related though such as tuned channels, recorded show info (not the shows themselves), etc.

If you dont want to loose all that info then grab a copy of sqlite editor and have a go at removing them yourself manually.
