I have 3 Kodi 17 RC3 environments connected to a central MySQL database and all is running fine there with one exception.
When I stop a movie or tv show on one media player and want to resume play in another room, unless I restart the system, I can't see the movie listed under "In progress movies" on the home screen. Also, once I update the library on one system, I don't see the results under recently added on the home page as well.
Is there a way to refresh the Home Window without resorting to a restart?

Currently a library update will force the home screen to update, as well a refresh on an individual movie or TV episode. So the bandaid fix would be to go to the movies section, do a library update, and then come back to the home screen.

I ended creating an addon with 1 line to execute a 1 line ReloadSkin() function. I call that from the /etc/apm/sleep.d folder script with the JSON RPC API, so that kodi usually sleeping when woken up refreshes the home screen and gets all up to date info.
all too much work to get multiple Kodi's to sync up with the new home screen..
I can post share code if anyone is interested.

Actually just discovered this script which will do what I need, no addon needed!
kodi-send --action="ReloadSkin()"

It would be nice to have a button at the top that the user can use to execute a refresh?

Same issues for me too - any chance of a fix or is the pi1 no longer supported for bug fixes?
