Reloading a menu

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Is there a way to reload a menu? I don’t want to restart the plug-in.



Scenario:

I want to add a new source. After i add the source i want that source to show up in the menu.



Currently the only way i can get it to show up is if i press ESC and go back a menu and then go forward to where i was.



any ideas ?

Hi,



try adding a noCache=True option to the MediaContainer you need to be reloaded.



<br />
dir = MediaContainer(viewGroup='Details', title2=sender.itemTitle, noCache=True)<br />


this should work if there is an action that adds the source resulting in the container being redrawn. There is also a way to refresh the container periodically if you want to reload but not based on user action.


<br />
dir = MediaContainer(mediaType='video', autoRefresh=REFRESH_RATE ) <br />


where REFRESH_RATE is in seconds.
