I am now having an issue with the following commands, using the released version of Leia (Kodi 18), on Windows.  Latest version of Xonfluence 4.0.10 skin, but also tested in Estuary Skin.

These commands don't seems to pop up the screens I am trying to get:

The code I am using:

import xbmc
    xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(screencalibration)')   - should popup the Screen calibration window.  It did on Krypton with version 3.x.x of Xonfluence.
    xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(systemsettings)")   - should popup the System settings window.  It did on Krypton with version 3.x.x of Xonfluence.

Has something changed in the accepted format for Leia?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Ken

nope, nothing changed.
check your Debug Log if any errors/warnings are logged.

Hmm, this is the error:

Any thoughts on what that means?

Cheers,

I actually found some info on a Google search.  If I add this line before, it works:

xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(busydialog)')

Probably just a poor workaround, but hey it works for now.

Cheers,
Ken

[ronie]

nah, that is the proper way.
any open dialogs must be closed before you can activate a new window.

[kenmills]

Oh, OK thanks a million!

Cheers
