Event fired on channel change? - jgivings - 2016-04-27

I'm writing an add-on that needs to perform some actions when a TV channel is changed.

I could poll getPlayingFile() in Player but I'd rather listen for it. Is there any way to do this? I've tested all the on* methods in Player but they don't fire on channel change.

I've noticed the following is logged when a channel is changed:

Code:
NOTICE: PVRManager - PerformChannelSwitch - switched to channel 'TEN Digital'

I could tail the log file and look for patterns like the above, but it's not a very elegant solution.
