Req Action to direct launch a specific channel ID
#1
Hi all
Seeking confirmation that there is no easy way to launch a particular LiveTV channel from the homescreen?

The actions for PVR listed on http://kodi.wiki/view/Action_IDs seem a little out of date (see PVR Something ?), but from googling looks like PlayPvrTV will launch LiveTV and I can map this to a remote button readily. But I don't know of a way to get it to launch a specific channel. What I was hoping to be able to do is edit the homescreen specific section of remote.xml and map so that any muppet could simply pick up the remote from the home screen and hit 7 for channel 7.

I've looked around for ways to launch a specific favourite also, but can't see a workaround there either.

I'm on a raspberry pi frontend, so JSON or eventghost solutions aren't going to fly either sadly.

Anyone see an obvious solution I've missed?
