How to send http commands from HSTouch?

[lunkan]

I'm using XBMC on another computer, how to send http commands direct from HSTouch? It's to slow to go from a script on my Homeseer server. Can't browse my media fast enough on XBMC app.
Example of an command I want to send:

hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.1.113:8083/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SendKey&parameter=271"),FALSE

solved but is still way to slow for browse.Use a script in button like this:

How does this control anything? That function is supposed to return a page? I am curious as I am trying to accomplish the same thing for SageTv.

It can control devices that are setup to accept the querystring parameters at the end of the URL.
ie any thing after the ? "?command=SendKey&parameter=271"

Is there any reason that this line will work as an action:

&hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.2.51:87/sage/SageCommand?RetImage=no&nocache=1234103577546&command=Play&c ontext=000dfe077d44",FALSE)

but this will not work from a button:

Play [$SCRIPT=&hs.GetURLIE("http://192.168.2.51:87/sage/SageCommand?RetImage=no&nocache=1234103577546&command=Play&c ontext=000dfe077d44",FALSE)]

Thanks Rupp

There is a difference. If you put the command in the Text property of the button then it will try to assign the return value from the scrip to Text property. So it is a good practice to use action if there is no return value to show in the UI. I know it did not answer your question but thought of sharing my opinion.

Did you ever come up with a solution for this?

I use XBMC on the Raspberry pi, and although i don't use the HSTOUCH screen to control it (yet), i do have an event, connected to a remote control which simulates the left button press.

I used the following code, my version is XBMC V11 (Eden):

: &hs.GetUrl("http://192.168.45.20/jsonrpc?request={%22jsonrpc%22:%20%222.0%22,%20%22method%22: %20%22Input.Left%22,%20%22id%22:%201}","",True,80)
My IP address for the device is 192.168.45.20 and I work on port 80, so you would need to change those to your settings. I also use the Input.Left to move the keypress left etc.
