i have a background cron process that watches for new movies, when it find a movie it calls the http api to update the movies. Once this has updated is it possible to reload the home screen (if currently on the home screen) ?
found a solution to this.
was to create a script and call the updatelibrary then wait for it to finish by checking the Library.IsScanning boolean. Then calling the latest.py to update the latest movie lists.
