I'm trying to build a remote for XBMC on the iPhone and iPad using CommandFusion's iViewer.

Is it possible to open XBMC directly into a plugin like YouTube? Or at least navigate directly to a plugin once XBMC is open using the HTTP API or JSON API. Right now I'm using the the JSON API on the TCP socket for control.

Yes, but ...

If you highlight some example add-on and add it to the Favourites then look in favourites.xml you'll see a link like:

ActivateWindow(10001,"plugin://plugin.program.mceremote/")

and this is how you open the add-on. However the number, 10001 in this case, is determined by what type of add-on you're opening. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Window_IDs for details.

I'm not sure what the JSON equivalent of ActivateWindow is. I had a quick look at the Wiki and I couldn't see anything obvious.
