[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1255133, member: 153283"] Okay, done some testing and can confirm that, as Owlsroost said, 'Always try to update' does overwrite all entries, though it may be several hours before it does so. As this overwrites my changes I will need to consider a workaround. Perhaps I should set 'Always try to update' manually once a week. If I could predict exactly when the EPG would be updated I could schedule my code to process some time after the EPG update, but I suspect MP executes the EPG gathering as when expeditious. I am now beginning to suspect that this EPG issue happens irrespective of whether the source is WebEPG or broadcast media, since I have had erroneous program listing occur when sourcing the EPG from both sources. CyberSimian: you said that you need to use the gather the EPG when idle setting. Is that because your PC struggled for resources when gathering the EPG while streaming video, or some other reason? I think the TVService is quite resource intensive so I try to minimize the number of processes I allow to run on that machine. Do you find that only collecting EPG when idle is sufficient to keep your EPG up-to-date, because the help text suggests we start with the gather the EPG when streaming and add the other option when satisfied that the first option is satisfactory.
