[Bug?] Favorites take a long time to appear / refresh in XBVR API mode UI

Hey there, GREAT player! Such as step up from others, not only because of the advanced projection features, but also when combined with something like XBVR.

Regarding XBVR support, I'd like to mark videos as favorites when inside the web browser's API mode while on my XBVR webpage. If I mark a video as a favorite in the player UI and I refresh the page on my computer, it instantly appears in my favorites there. However, inside HereSphere's API mode viewer, the Favorites tab is empty (if this was the first favourite video) or outdated (if there already were some videos in there). Pressing the Refresh button in the bottom left corner does nothing. Only after a few minutes does the favorited video appear.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? What could explain such a delay?

The most reliable method of making it reappear is to disable the web API in HereSphere, and then re-enable it to get the player to scan all the files again. The refresh button only refreshes the current page of videos. You most likely want to scan the full library again.

Thanks for the tip! Do you plan to make this more straightforward? Could the library be refreshed while the web API viewer is active?

(BTW, it was not clear how to get that viewer to show up in the first place! May I suggest adding a section about this to the user guide?)
