launch addon from vox

[IKROWNI]

how would i go about adding a voice command to vox to go directly to one of my addons?

ive tried using XBMC.ExecBuiltin Runaddon(10025,"plugin://plugin.video.newznab/") but this does nothing at all ive also tried just XBMC.ExecBuiltin Runaddon(plugin.video.newznab)

any help is greatly appreciated

Are you using Eden or Frodo?

You can't use XBMC.*** actions with Frodo, so if you are using Frodo, you should be using XJson.***

you should start by looking at the various commands that are already provided in the default configurations.  I think there is one command in there for the subtitles addon...

yes i am using frodo, after having a look at the subtitles launch addon settings. i came up with this:




when i attempt to make this launch vox recognizes my command with no problem but nothing happens.

im sorry i just purchased vox today and im trying to get the hang of it i have tons of things running flawlessly for the most part aside from thsi one issue.

Well, XBMC has different types of addons, and I guess this one is a video addon that is not really "executed" per se.

So probably you want to use GUI.ActivateWindow and then it is just a matter of finding the right parameters.

Here's a similar command for a video addon (newznab looked way too complicated to install, sorry)

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<command id="416" name="open nasa videos" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <action>
    <cmdType>XJson.Raw</cmdType>
    <cmdString>GUI.ActivateWindow&amp;&amp;"window": "video", "parameters": [ "plugin://plugin.video.nasa" ]</cmdString>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>open nasa videos</phrase>
</command>

Ideally when you want to post a command you could right click it in your tree and select "copy" and then paste it into a code block on the forum, as I have just done.  then others can simply copy the code block and paste it into a group in their tree.  (You can copy commands, or entire groups this way).

I can't test it but hopefully this command will work for you:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<command id="422" name="open news nab" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <action>
    <cmdType>XJson.Raw</cmdType>
    <cmdString>GUI.ActivateWindow&amp;&amp;"window": "video", "parameters": [ "plugin://plugin.video.newznab" ]</cmdString>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>open news nab</phrase>
</command>
