I have done a search and only found threads with no replies or answers like

"use the library"
"edit the sources through the gui"

I need a way to get xbmc to reload sources.xml.
I updated sources, but the only way I have found to reload it is by quitting and opening again.

I know skin devs have an option to reload various things without having to quit, I just wondered if there could be an advanced setting to reload sources.xml if it has been modified externally.

Thanks

i guess a patch to add a ReloadSources builtin would be acceptable.

Is something like this sufficient?
(Only asking as I can't get it to build on my osx machine, and am away from my system76)
