Is there a method that will force a list being viewed to force a refresh? For instance I have a list of video feeds but they change every 15 minutes or so, I would like for the list to auto-update either A) when someone is just sitting on the list for 15 minutes or B) when someone finishes watching a video and 15 minutes has passed to refresh the list so they don’t have to exit to the “main menu” and re-enter the list again. I played with the cache timeout but it doesn’t seem to have any impact on my Plex client (at least on Roku and AppleTV). ---

You can’t set something to automatically refresh. The client has to request it. I think the best you can do is set `no_cache=True` on the object container, though not all clients may support it (iOS being one). so if you have a list `A` with `no_cache=True` that takes you to another list or a video, going back to `A` the client should get a new list. ---

I tried that briefly before with no results and I didn’t focus more on it because the docs indicate it’s more to do with menus, but I just tried it again and no love on Roku or IOS :(. Thank you for answering though. ---
