Basically, i want to get a directory listing with search results from a foreign AddOn eg. Amazon VOD or Netflix or any media libary addon.

Code Called: xbmc.executebuiltin("RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.netflix/?action=search_result&term=kill+bill)")

Output

https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions
RunPlugin(plugin)Runs the plugin. Full path must be specified. Does not work for folder plugins

--> i assume this means, this function will not suit my needs, or does it?

A similar issue was described here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=328392
However, it was not about calling a "foreign' addon.


I am not sure if this is a matter of sy handle, while i partiallly understand syshandles, i wouldnt know how to read back the retrun values.

Thread moved to add-on development

I don't think its possible, someone already said on similar thread that the results is a custom made window.
With foreign you are unable to pass it without modification of original addon/plugin/script, but when you do then its not foreign anymore.
The fastest way to make it is reuse the foreign part of searching and implement it into your addon.

As documentation describe: xbmc.executebuiltin, its just for running/executing things => run, wait, close
