PVR specific builtin commands - ZIOLele - 2012-10-22

Hello,
I would like to know if there are some builtin commands for pvr available to python.
To be more specific is there any way to rerun epg syncronization programmatically?

I'm asking becouse i've a little shell script that import my epg in vdr (with xmltv2vdr.pl), but that usually happen after xbmc sync.

I'm using Openelec 2.0. (it may help tracking which xbmc version I have)

Thanks

Wouldn't it be best if the VDR pvr addon would trigger the EPG Update itself?

A callback function for this purpose has been recently added...

This is on my list for vnsi. It bothers me too that I have no EPG after having not used my box for 2 days.

I would like a xmltv grab function directly in XBMC as an alternative to EPG from boxes etc.
Useful for operator that sends EPG wrong etc like mine.
I am grabbing it from internet on the box but Enigma2 overwrites it with my operators EPG.

as jdembski said, i've added a callback so you can trigger this.
@FernetMenta: the epg updater code now also automatically triggers an update for tv channels without epg data.
