Automate Update Channels on Specific IPTV Device or Group of Devices

[taylormia]

After doing an Update Channels with NScriptHelper.exe, I would like to disable and enable the Kodi NPVR addon so as to refresh the Kodi Live TV Guide - if possible in the same batch file.

Is there a NScriptHelper.exe command to do this? I'm aware of the Kodi RPC-API and how to do it that way. Just wondering if there is a NScriptHelper.exe option for this? Or any other method?

What has this got to do do with Windows or NextPVR? NScripthelper doesn't know anything about Kodi so that would be a Kodi forum question. Don't post in the pvr.nextpvr forum, post in general PVR.

However if you do an update EPG that should already trigger getting the guide data. The issue is right now is pvr.nextpvr assumes a static channel list during the run and only triggers it when core requests it or you trigger it in the PVR menu. It is actually better to clear data in Kodi and let it regenerate not just channels and the EPG but channel groups and timers too. However Kodi doesn't need to be made away of URL changes, just additions and deletes which in normal operation shouldn't be too common and clients know when this happens in the household.

I will look into what happens when resuming from sleep, core should be requesting a channel list and you should be scheduling automated server change in off hours anyway.

As Martin said above...No, it doesn't know anything about Kodi.
