Is it possible to launch a installed add-on from a running add-on (with input parameters, if supported)?

I'm planning a simple feed reader of youtube and vimeo links and their great add-ons are doing their work fine so I was just thinking I could launch them with relevant parameters ?




PS. The vimeo plugin (http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=346460&postcount=1) is working as an add-on with just some tiny changes...

yes, if the addon you call permit that (you need to send the good url for plugin addon)

Ah, great. Mind sharing a code snippet for achieving this?

[spiff]

xbmc.executebuiltin('activatewindow(somewindow,plugin://plugin.video.youtube/some.url/?some_param=whatever)')

but most likely what you want is to incorporate results in your add-on. which means you'll have to ask the utub/vimeo guys to split their plugin in a script.module and a plugin - like i outlined in the dev forum some days ago.

Spiff, thank you.

I have tried both

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('activatewindow(video,plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/search&action=play_video&videoid=DBcT9iwZqUQ)')

xbmc.executebuiltin('RunPlugin(plugin.video.vimeo/?mode=2&videoID=12832649)')

and only managed to almost crash xbmc.

Code:

Just calling an action from another plugin should work like this:

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.jdownloader/?action=addlink&url=http://www.abc.com/test.rar)')

Thanks!

Got an answer here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=628...tcount=321 with using xbmc.PlayMedia that solved my problem
