Hi. I was looking to a way to start a refresh of the epg data from json and i didn't find any. Only restart pvr manager from command line. Is there a json command that allows it?
The idea is that the backends keep EPG up to date. A backend can trigger an EPG update for a particular channel.
I didn't know that. But why there is a setting called time between epg data imports?
The chance for backends to trigger an update was added later.

yes it exists a setting to control a period of time, when XBMC starts an EPG-sync in the background.
and no, for now you can't trigger this update manually with JSON or within XBMC except you reset the whole EPG database.
