Start SmartHub app from RC

Hey,

I've read about RCremap and RCremap with CMD support - I'd like to start a certain SmartHub app (Plex) via the remote control or any quicker way than currently.


Is that possible?


Thanks

You would have to write some script to handle everything but it sounds possible:)

Thank you!

Are there some documented details how to call a smarthub app?

I don't think so, it would require usage of both RCremap with CMD support and SamyGOrc, to automatically send consecutive keys you'd send manually. e.g.:
Open Smarthub->sleep a while->move cursor to needed app->Enter (...)
Needed tools:
RCremap with CMD support
SamyGOrc
Also check this sample CMD script

Oh, that's unfortunate. I thought we had control over calling stuff when rooted, not having to use the actual TV interface.

Yes we have :) But everything requires coding :) Nobody asked for such feature so it wasn't coded that's all :) If you are interested in it just ask and we'll see what can be done :) Hint: donation speeds up development ;)
