Hello everybody,

I want XBMC to launch the first item in the favoriteslist (in my case a radio-station) when i press F1 key on the keyboard; second item by key F2; third by F3 and so on. That way XBMC could act as a headless (no monitor required) hifi system i figured; i would not have to turn on the TV and navigate through all those menus. I do know how to define new keymappings but I want to know what Action there is to launch item #1 of the favoriteslist. Would I have to manually create a python script that reads&parses from the favorites.xml file etc or is there a better more elegant way?


Thank you!
