Update Simple IPTV m3u list

Hi,
I have an m3u file that is re-generated every few mins or so on my network. Each update adds and removes live streaming entries. I've spent some time looking into MythTV and TVHeadEnd but both seem to suffer from the same problem that will require manual intervention from me in order for MrMR to see any updated channels.
MrMC's IPTV Simple Client is all the functionality I really need, and has worked very well for me. The primary issue here is that in order for MrMC to see any new channels, I either need to disable/enable the plugin, or go into tv -> clear database (or whatever the option is). I spent some time looking into the Kodi RPC api, hoping there would be some exposed method that will allow me to purge the TV database, but I didn't seem to come across any (if I have overlooked a way to purge the tv database, or otherwise able to execute arbitrary GUI actions from the API, please let me know!).
My request then would be some way for me to update the TV channel database. In the above-linked post, I spoke of an option on the left-side menu, but I would be very happy actually with an API end point if there's an easy way to do that. API would be my preference but would also take an entry on the left-menu or something.
Thank you for your time!
