uiList not redrawing when replacing items

[cncb]

When a video is finished playing, I am completely replacing the items in my uiList (NewStyleButtonListPlugin) with a call to SetListObjects(). However, for some reason the list is not redrawn until I change the current selected item with the arrow keys. Is there a way to force the list to redraw? I have tried to explicitly return true in NeedsRendering() rather than relying on the base class but it still does not redraw.

That should be forcing it to happen. Do you see GetRenderList() called in response to your NeedsRendering()?

For that test, you may need to make sure your NeedsRendering() call also calls uiList.NeedsRendering(), rather than a hard coded "return true", because some controls do internal redrawing in NeedsRendering().

It turns out NeedsRendering() is not even called when it "returns" from playing a video until a press the arrow keys?

I can check. Was this just on a regular PC install? Not webclient?

[cncb]

Yes, regular PC.

I just found the IPluginHelper.ForceRender() which seems to do the trick. Thanks.

That is the API call I asked sub to add URL trigger for in webclient, it could even be an unused keystroke. I'd then call that from after video stop.

That would be great. Thanks.

It would help a lot of users, I've had other requests for the watched indicator to come up in recordings after playback and this should trigger that too.

Ok, I'll add a API for this. Remind me when we start pre-release testing in a few days.
