corrupting metadata

I dont why or how it happens, but I would like solutions. In the time slot where the eve news is supposed to be it shows Hawaii Five-0. How to stop or fix corrupted EPG without having to reload from scratch? When I click on some recorded files it somehow links to livetv instead with the black bar & scrambled the metadata for a recorded file with a live play. The playback file will work corrrectly if i use a non sagetv player to access file. how to stop this corruption of data from happening?

Is there a way to delete affected channel EPG data & reload it from scratch? As far as I know if you unselect & readd station it doesn't erase any existing data but only adds to what is already stored. Hoping for an easier solution than deleted sources & redoing & not further corrupting the metadata. It would be nice if there was a way to reload EPG from scratch without having to delete & add sources. It would be a solution in the case of corrupted EPG data.

is the force epg plugin still functional? I am hoping for a solution that wipes epg data & repopulates it from scratch rather than added to the corrupted data already there.

Going from memory so please double check
Stop sagetv
Delete the 2 sdmd5 files
Think need to delete 2 lines in sage.properties file
Expanded_until and forgot the other
Start sagetv
Force EPG update
Will totally rebuild EPG

still have a few corrupted listings

I know the data is not incorrect from SD end. Something is corrupting the metadata at server end. In the wee hrs of am i have a listing showing as same episode of a show long gone. The show is an hr long broadcast, but appearing multiple times as a half hr show. I dont know how to purge data. Reinstalling sagetv doesn't fix the issue since, it repopulates as corrupted again.

Have you followed graywolf's instructions?

Everything you need to know about SD for Sage is here. At the bottom of the page, under "What are these new files in my SageTV folder", is info about sdmd5prog and sdmd5sched.
