Hello!
I would like to know how I can start a script by pressing a button on my remote?
I have tried to search the forums and the wiki, but did not find the information.

I know a little about changing remote.xml, as I have earlier successfully managed to start playback of a playlist by adding:
<zero>XBMC.PlayMedia(<path to m3u file>)</zero>

I cannot, however, find the right command for starting a script.

More specifically I would like to add a button to start the XOT-uzg script: http://www.rieter.net/uitzendinggemist/

Can anyone help me?

this should work:

<zero>XBMC.RunScript(path to default.py)</zero>

obviously change <zero> to whatever button you like

I tried this code with the Theater Experience script and I didnt get it working.

I think its my path to the script. This is what I have...
<w>XBMC.RunScript(C:\Users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\scripts\Home Theater Experience\default.py)</w>

Also tried it with...
<w>XBMC.RunScript(C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\Scripts\Home Theater Experience\default.py)</w>

whats the deal?

try:

xbmc.runscript(special://home/scripts/Home Theater Experience/default.py

it works like this on OSX and ATV(different script), also the path you specify must be correct.

alright. ill give this a try. It seems that this code will only work running in portable mode because if your not, the plugins wont work in, special://home/scripts/

thanks though. Ill give it a whirl

running from a key action you will not queue the movie. so i don't think this will work.

not too familiar with the script, was explaining how to map it to the button

[Nuka1195]

what would be nice is:

Code:

<zero>
  <action>Action(Queue,25)</action>
  <action>xbmc.runscript(special://home/scripts/Home Theater Experience/default.py)</action>
</zero>

the code will work as long as you remember to clear the queue, then queue the movie. not what he's looking for i would think.

i see the op, was not discussing the hte script.

[spiff]

why? you can just have the script queue up the item for you.

[Nuka1195]

doh, that would work even better as it can determine the active window instead of hard coding 25.

thanks
