EPG update via CLI

[death_hawk 0]

Is there a way to force an EPG update via command line?  

 

I'm currently doing a workaround right now where I'm externally downloading an XML file and would optimally like to script in a way for emby to refresh the EPG.

Hi, no, but you can do this in the web interface. Why not just do that?

Web interface requires me to do work. 
I'd rather just automate it.

You could try something like this

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8096/emby/ScheduledTasks/Running/taskID?api_key=key" -H "accept: */*" -d ""

Where the "taskID" is the task id for the Refresh Guide scheduled task and the "key" is your api key

That seems like it would work.  I'll test it. 

Thanks

You can use Chrome's debug console to easily figure out the task ID to Refresh the Guide

I found it by just copying the URL out of "Scheduled Tasks" 

 

 

That worked perfectly.
