Hi All,  
Im not a developer at all but can go around code and understand it if i read it.That being said, could anyone help me in creating a channel which simply calls a URL.  
My idea is to call the plex libray refresh URL via a channel so that i can refresh my libraries whenever i need.  
The URL would be: http://[PMS\_IP\_ADDRESS]:32400/library/sections/all/refresh  
thanks…
