Difference between Container.Refresh and Container.Update? - sergiodev - 2022-10-16
What is the difference between the built-in functions Container.Refresh and Container.Update?
I found some documentation on this page - https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions#GUI_container_built-in.27s - but it doesn't really explain it.
I'm debugging an addon where Container.Refresh doesn't do anything sometimes. I'm wondering if I should use Container.Update instead.

I use Container.Refresh in my addon to refresh listitem windows to pickup any changes since the listitems were originally displayed (i.e. maybe a playcount indicator changed etc..). I believe Container.Update is for adding updates to the container. Here's a little better documentation.
