Update channel list when apps or TV channels change #70

Closed normen closed 4 years ago

normen commented 4 years ago

Currently the list of channels in HomeKit never changes once the TV channels have been scanned. The only way to get the new channel list is to rename or remove the TV in homebridge. It should be investigated if and how the Services that represent the channels can be changed later.

Any specific information on this is very welcome.

Apparently theres API.prototype.updatePlatformAccessories = function(accessories), maybe that updates the Services.

There is now a beta that - in theory - allows adding and removing channels. But apparently HomeKit doesn't really pick up on the changes.

If you want to help, install the beta using npm install -g homebridge-bravia@beta, change some channels and report here with the homebridge log and a description of what happened.
