How to open dialogselect for audio output device? I want to make it easy for my father to open with one click if he changed the TV to another screen.

Why do you want this?
If it's about making switching audio settings easier then the audio profiles addon in the official repo does it in a more user-friendly way than you'll ever manage via links to kodi settings.

I want to be easy for my father when he is switching mini pc from TV to another screen and sometimes earphone not going to setting and look for audio. I want it easy with one click , because he is not familiar with tech Blush

Audio profiles (or similar) is the way to go then. It doesn't get any easier (once it's configured) - you might even be able to set it up to not need a click.

Have you tried using -

xml:
ActivateWindowAndFocus(id1, id2,item1, id3,item2)

Quote:Activate window with id1, first focus control id2 and then focus control id3. if either of the controls is a container, you can specify which item to focus (else, set it to 0).

Thanks for pointing me to that, I tried this
<onclick>ActivateWindowAndFocus(systemsettings,-99,1,-79,0,12000)</onclick>

but stopped highlighted on Audio output device without open the dialog! how can I open the dialog for Audio output device?

RE: how to open audio output device dialogselect as shortcut - Spiderfish - 2019-02-25

I tired also this and still couldn't open the dialogselect
<onclick>ActivateWindowAndFocus(systemsettings,-99,0,-79,selectdialog,)</onclick>

RE: how to open audio output device dialogselect as shortcut - Hitcher - 2019-02-26

Try adding another onclick action to select it -

xml:
<onclick>ActivateWindowAndFocus(systemsettings,-99,1,-79,0,12000)</onclick>

<onclick>Select</onclick>

yeah it works..not like what I wanted but it open the dialogselect for audio output device. What I was wanted is to open the audio output device dialog without open the systemsettings page can I still achieve that?

RE: how to open audio output device dialogselect as shortcut - Hitcher - 2019-02-26

I wouldn't have thought so as it part of the system settings not a separate dialog.
