Hi guys,
Is there a way to open an installed addon using JSON?

I am using the XBMC Subtitles addon. This addon adds an icon on the video control bar, currently I am opening it using Input.Up, down, etc to go to the icon and Select to open the addon.

Is there a more direct way to access this addon? My interface is an iPad. I would love to have an icon on the ipad that I could press to open the addon.

Thanks.

Reply in 2 minutes. That's got to be a record!

But I forgot to mention I am using Eden, sorry.

Is there something similar on API 4?

Nope, it was introduced for Frodo.

Well, I guess I'll have to update then.

Thanks for the replies!

How do I go about getting the addon ID and possible params?

For the addon ID you can use Addons.GetAddons. For the parameters you need to check the addon itself. There's no standard and every addon can do what it wants.
