Houser you can used advanced launcher with sf to open a browser to a given web site.

I have another request for SF. Would it be possible to have SF linked to OTTV so that if the channel is titled exactly the same that it will show up as a active link just at ftv, oss, ustv Dixie do now. This would be a huge time saver since my links are all in SF.

Are you in a position to test a file, if so the file is here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1155...chooser.py

And needs to be placed in the plugin.program.super.favourites folder (overwrite the existing file)

I'd rather not push a new version just for this fix (although if necessary I can)

I tested the new chooser.py file with both v1.0.27.6 and v1.0.28 (I wasnt sure if it made any difference) and in both cases this has solved the problem with not being able to browse deeper into the folder structure via OTTV, as well as being able to select a folder that has "&" in the title.

However unfortunately now we are back to a problem that we had in the past - this folder with the symbol now shows up as blank/empty when accessed via the OTTV epg (I mean when trying to play a channel).

Post another test file if you want me to try it out

Thanx for reply markaisi, but I think what I want is not that.
I am looking to remotely launch superfavourites via json from an iphone or android handset.
Right now I am using irule to do it, and if you can build a link in json format that launches a favourite from a webbrowser, you can reformat that link for use in a macro in irule.
The json protocol is quite extensive:

...but I can't find a way to launch superfavourites with it right now.

I would like to know if there is any work around or way to have permanent links to streams that use dynamic tokens in SF. I am using a paid provider of high quality streams and would like to add them to a TV guide addon. The channels can be added easily to kodi favorites and SF, but will show as broken after some time due to the use of new tokens.

I believe there should be some kind of fix, in one of your replies (Post 249) to the USTVNOW issue.

I would highly appreciate a solution to this issue.

@spoyser Is the above doable?

Yes it would be very easy but it would require a change to the original addon

There is nothing special about SF items, how do you launch the standard favourites from the browser?

I don't. I have the same problem with them. Maybe I am missing something obvious but I see no way of making a direct jsonlink to favorites anywhere.
I was rather hoping that superfavourites would adress this functionality somehow...

As an example, this is what I do to launch an addon via json in rule or via a browser:
jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon", "params": { "addonid": "plugin.video.[name here]"}, "id": 1 }

more examples here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/Examples
complete specs here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v6
nothing about favorites anywhere as far as I can see. Maybe I am missing something obvious..

What you have is correct, so for example if you put plugin.program.super.favourites for the addonid it will open SF

However, according to here http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v6#Ad...ecuteAddon you should be able to pass in the params as an optional parameter but I cannot for the life of me work out the syntax

(see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27866...n-playlist)

I would expect something like:

{"addonid":"plugin.program.super.favourites", "params":"?mode=0"}


But that doen't seem to work

I would be interested to know if you can get any further

Well, I guess that makes it two of us..
I will keep trying and post here if I find a way.
Grateful for any hints if anyone has any.
Json is great and useful but a bit hard to figure out in parts.
Thanx again.

hi, can this create a .m3u from your kodi favorites? thx

Can you try this file:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1155.../player.py

This needs to go in the OTTV folder

I tested quickly and everything seems to be fixed and working correctly now. THANKS

Good to hear, I'll make sure it gets pushed in the next release
