Hi,
I'm having trouble where recordings that are imported into my recordings table on MythTV are not appearing in the list on Kodi. The key thing here is that they're imports, not being scheduled via Myth (which I know is probably not supported and happy to be told that).
It looks like whilst the entries are added in the recordings table on MythTV and are viewable by MythWeb, the list on the plugin doesn't detect a change in the table. Unfortunately there's no debug being shown in any logs as the events that I would expect to trigger the addon to update don't get sent (e.g. BACKEND_MESSAGE[]:[]RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE).
Is there a way to force an update of all recordings by the addon without restarting the backend (which works btw) or kodi (which also works)? Or - how are the updates triggered (is it something I can simulate with mythutil?)
Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by "imports"?

A little more troubleshooting and when I add the recordings to the database I see these events generated by MythTV

The file then appears in MythWeb.
I see the addon occasionally run GET /Dvr/GetRecordedList?StartIndex=%1&Count=%32%30&Descending=%74%72%75%65 - in the output from that I do see the program but I don't see how that request is triggered and the new program doesn't appear in the listed programs (in the addon) after the GET occurs.
Edit - added clarification to last line

It looks like the recording list update is triggered but for some reason it doesn't get the list. Is there more debug I can enable?
