Correct, I've had very limited success with
execw myself - this calls the Addons.ExecuteAddon with wait parameter but it generally doesn't do much, which is down to Kodi or how the addon has been coded (for instance, the add-on might pass on the work to a service method so that the add-on responds more quickly in the GUI).(2020-01-24, 23:41)konrul Wrote: How can I use the "exec" command to watch a tv channel from a plugin? For example youtube plugin? Or else, how can I play a webpage video (not youtube) via your program? But still, I couldn't succeed with this intention.
Thanks in advance for your help and guidance!
I don't know about your tv channel and plugin, maybe ask the plugin maintainer.
To watch a video you can use
play "<video url>" where <video url> is the path to a local video file (that is accessible by Kodi) or the url of an internet video. You can use playw to wait until the video playback is finished.To watch a YouTube video, you'll need to use the appropriate plugin-formatted url, for example:
