Autostart Eurosport Player (Addon)

goldjungee · August 31, 2017 at 4:21 PM

Hi guys. I read a lot about this topic in the net but it did not help me.

Is there a possibility to start the Eurosport Player on startup?

I read about creating files in user dictionary and stuff but i was not able to start it.

Do you know an easy script or how to create it?

Thanks in advance

Use Autoexec.py

Thanks for your answer but that did not help me.

1) Could you tell me the command to open the Plugin?

import xbmc

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunScript(script.video.eurosportplayer)')

That did not work

xbmc.executebuiltin("RunAddon(script.eurosportplayer)")

-sh: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

-sh: syntax error: unexpected ")"

This does not work either

To send a command to Kodi:

kodi-send --host=127.0.0.1 -a "command"

Kodi must be running.

use autoexec.py as mglae suggested. If that is not working post a kodi debug log and it will say what is wrong with the script

Never trust an outdated documentation.

Python: autoexec.py

import xbmc

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunAddon(plugin.video.eurosportplayer)')

I'm afraid nobody can can help without logs.

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

So, the above aroused my curiosity and I tried it... with youtube (plugin.video.youtube). According to the instructions on kodi's wiki,

- I made the service.autoexec folder and inside it

- I made the autoexec.xml file exactly as described on the wiki

- I made the autoexec.py file like so

Code

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('RunAddon(plugin.video.youtube)')

Proof of the above

Code

letest:~/.kodi/addons # ls service.autoexec/
autoexec.py   autoexec.xml

But I failed at step 1.4 which says about enabling the autoexec addon because there is no autoexec addon listed in there!

I also tried enabling it with

Code

kodi-send --action="EnableAddon(service.autoexec)"

If it helps, running

Code

kodi-send --action="RunAddon(plugin.video.youtube)"

does spawn youtube. There is nothing related to autoexec in the log.

---edit

I need a new pair of glasses The right file name for the xml is addon.xml not autoexec.xml!

I renamed it and now it works as it should.
