Hi,

I have the same question regarding regarding plugins like apple movie trailers lite. In the previous version I used ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,plugins://video/Apple Movie Trailers Lite/,return) to activate the plugin. But in Dharma it will not work as the every plugin and scripts are now under addons with a different directory structure.

Anyone?

Here's how I do it for Alaska Revisited -

PHP Code:
<onclick>Skin.SetAddon(ProgramButtonPathScript_1,xbmc.python.script)</onclick>
<onclick>Skin.SetString(ProgramButtonPath_1,RunScript($INFO[Skin.String(ProgramButtonPathScript_1)]))</onclick> 

and to launch it -

PHP Code:
<onclick>$INFO[Skin.String(ProgramButtonPath_1)]</onclick> 

Thanks for the reply. This works from scripts. But doesn't work for plugins. I also tried using the XBMC.RunPlugin function without any luck.

For plugins use -

PHP Code:
<onclick>Skin.SetAddon(ProgramButtonPathScript_1,xbmc.python.pluginsource)</onclick>
<onclick>Skin.SetString(ProgramButtonPath_1,ActivateWindow(programs,plugin://$INFO[Skin.String(ProgramButtonPathScript_1)]))</onclick> 

Thanks Hitcher! Made it work with slight modification for use with video plugin like Apple Movie trailer and YouTube. The modification I have used:

<onclick>Skin.SetString(ProgramButtonPath_1,ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,plugin://$INFO[Skin.String(ProgramButtonPathScript_1)]))</onclick>

Without the above modification, I could browse the folders inside youtube and AMT, but could not run videos as I was browsing through programs instead of videolibrary.

Thanks again!

Sorry, I should have said you need to change that part depending on where you want to run the add-on.
