What is the expected behavior if you have a channel configured as a smart playlist, and change the playlist.xsp file while the channel is running with PTLV background updating enabled? Is the playlist cached in PTVL at boot and you would have to reboot PTVL for the updated playlist to show or would the epg list suddenly change when the background updating occurs and re reads the smart playlist file??
I've tried a few times, but given that the shortest background refresh interval is 4 Hours, messing with this may take a while.
tldr. Does background updating re read the smart playlist file for changes? or just re-populate the channel with shows from the original playlist file?
If you are running PTVL with set top box enabled and advanced channel reset rule (ex 6hrs), every 6Hrs PTVL will reparse the xsp file. So any changes made should be carried over.
