is this the best way to listen for update to the video database? and update a bunch of kodi instance that might be running? bit of kludge I think espcially going to settings and coming back to home. also this only does it if the user is on the home screen, if he isn't navigating back to home should trigger a refresh
any ideas are welcome.
