If I SSH into Libreelec on my rPi I can run

Code:

systemctl stop service.downloadmanager.transmission.service

How can I replicate this action using my addon?

System.Exec

There are a few other ways as well.

I tried:

Code:

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('System.Exec(systemctl stop service.downloadmanager.transmission.service)')

but nothing happens. Actually it seems to crash;

12:31:39 620.833069 T:1962889216 ERROR: ActiveAE::Resume - failed to init
12:31:39 620.833679 T:1962889216 FATAL: OnApplicationMessage: Failed to restart AudioEngine after return from external player

some other options are:
- os.system()
- subprocess.call()

Just out of curiosity, when kodi executes a shell script does it use the same user ID as one would use to ssh or does it have it's own specific userid?

Code:

import os
os.system("stop service.downloadmanager.transmission.service")

Code:

import subprocess
subprocess.call('stop service.downloadmanager.transmission.service', shell=True)

These don't seem to be doing anything either...although I'm not getting a crash this time.

that's a different command then in your first post ;-)

Doh, sometimes I do not know why I make these stupid mistakes, it's working now, thanks ronie!
