xbmc.executebuiltin function that will add links to the favourites.xml? - Mikewave - 2016-04-03

Is there a xbmc.executebuiltin function that will add links to the favourites.xml?

I found this but doesn't seem to work right. I think is has something to do with the script type.

Code:
json.loads(xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Favourites.AddFavourite", "params": {"title":"%s", "type":"script", "path":"%s", "thumbnail":"%s"}, "id": 1}' % (name, cmd, thumb)))
