I'm afraid at the moment there is no way to do what you want. In order
to speed up the loading of MythMusic the data trees are created only
once when the first MythMusic screen is loaded, in fact MythMusic has
needed the metadata and playlist data to be cached all the time ever
since the background music player was added so it didn't need to keep
reloading stuff like it was doing.
Ideally there would be a telnet command you could send to trigger a
reload but it will need a little thought since pulling the metadata out
from under the player or any of the music screens is going to cause
problems. No promises but I'll give it some thought :)
