[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase behavior

[Jon Larson]

I use mythfilldatabase --file to import program data from an XML file. 
Not being a database expert, I assumed that mythfilldatabase basically 
compares the mythtv listings to the XML file and does the following: 
Programs that are missing in MythTV would be added, programs with 
changed attributes would be updated, and programs that are missing in 
the XML would be deleted from MythTV as well.

 Unfortunately I'm finding that programs that are removed from the XML 
file (like canceled programs) remain in Myth's upcoming program 
listings. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a command equivalent to 
"--refresh-all" for the --file function?

I've looked at the output from mythfilldatabase using "-v all" From this 
I can see that the missing programs are not included in the 'MSqlQuery: 
SELECT * FROM program' phase, but they are updated when "Marking episode 
first showings" and "Marking episode first showings" are run.

If anyone could help with this I'd really appreciate it.
