How to make TVheadend sourced TV channel appear in LibreELEC without restart?

  • I have already assigned a sticker to a channel in TVHeadend's channel list and saved changes. Inside Kodi on LibreELEC i already had selected that sticker/category. But channel not automatically appeared despite syncing from backend is enabled in Kodi/PVR ( https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Live_TV/Channels ) . I wanted to ask why and how to make it appear without stupid hacks like disabling/enabling PVR addon (yes this works, but is very annoying to waste the time with this repeatedly) or restarting whole device.
    LibreELEC Wiki page is useless, when input "libreelec version" or "tvheadend channel PVR" or "tvheadend" it failed to find anything useful.
    Kodi forum search is also useless when i search for: sync TV channel from backend tvheadend

  • You should be posting about Kodi PVR addon functionality in the Kodi forum. You call it a stupid hack (wording like that will tend to piss off developers BTW) but Kodi PVR is not live against the backend it uses its own tables which it gets by polling the backend.
