Problem with ActivateWindow and keymap - ddlooping - 2015-08-14

Hi all Smile

I'm trying to implement keyboard shortcuts to activate some windows but can't get them all to work.

Windows 7 + Isengard 15.0 + Eminence

PHP Code:
<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <F1>ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://recentlyaddedmovies/,return)</F1>
            <F2>ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://recentlyaddedepisodes/,return)</F2>
            <F3>ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/titles/,return)</F3>
            <F4>ActivateWindow(Music,musicdb://artists/,return)</F4>
            <F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap> 

F1, F2 and F5 work but not F3 and F4.
F3 brings me to the movies window where I still have to select Titles manually and F4 does nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Nod

I'm not an expert on this but where I've done it before, I've created a favourite and then looked in favorites.xml to see the code.

For titles, it's returning
Code:
ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;videodb://movies/titles/&quot;,return)

Does that help?

Thanks for the reply, Bullsboy. Smile

I've tried with single quotes, with "&quot;", with 10025 in place of "Videos" but it's still goes to the movies page and Titles needs to be selected manually. Confused

Damn, the code in my original post actually works.
I was refreshing the skin when I needed to restart Kodi.
Sorry everybody.Blush
