    That is really cool, I always thought it was one of the things missing from the XBMC - Homeseer side was the ability to neatly integrate and your plugin now offers that!

    I think the point made was around using the XBMC plugin to jump directly to the Movies page of the XBMC player, or Music, or TV Shows or whatever it may be.

    I was curious, is there any way to be able to play something through the plugin to the XBMC player itself. I personally would love to be able to 'push' the URL for my camera's to the XBMC players if needed. I know there is a plugin that apparently lets you view the cameras popup, or like Picture in Picture but personally i never figured out how to get it going and in the absence of knowing how to do so, i would be fine with just pushing a URL to stream to each player.

      yeah this is a feature I'm going to add
      I would like to ad in hstouch, so when I push a button it jumps directly to the movies library so I do not need to navigate the menus to get there.

        In version 3.0.0.2 I have added the "GUI Activate Window" action. So you can now create events to jump to a specific screen.

        I'm not a hstouch specialist, but I guess it's then easy to link a button to this event.

            not sure when it will be in the updater, but you can download it from there:
            http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=161818

            if you have the previous version already installed, you just have to disable the plugin from the manage page, then copy over HSPI_XBMC.exe to your HS3 dir, then re-enable the plugin.

                you're right, I need to add an optional subsection parameter to the ActivateWindow action which would allow you to jump directly to a subsection as explained here:
                http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...ws_and_Dialogs

                it will be done in the next version.

                    version 3.0.0.3

                    Version 3.0.0.3 attached to Beta testing thread has this new sub section parameter.

                    For example the following action will make you jump to your TV Show titles:

                      This might be already possible, but is there any way to call an action for an XBMC player through a script rather than an event. It would be nice to be able to in HSTouch call a scripting command rather than have to have lots of different events for different players for each action (e.g. Up, Down, Left, Right) and so on.

                      What i was thinking was something like &hs.XBMCPluginAction(Player,Action)

                      Thanks!

                        I cant recall if I already posted this in a different section, but with the ActivateWindow command it would be nice if you could have an other selection where you enter the URL of the window. Doing this might allow you to jump right to favorite plugin rather than just the favorites section itself, e.g. Below:

                          You can already do that with version 3.0.0.3 of the plugin. This version has a new "Sub- section"parameter for the ActivateWindow action.

                          To get the correct parameters, do as explained in this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=151450
                          then get the window name from its id: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Window_IDs
                          and remove the "&quot" at the beginning and end of the second parameter

                          here is an example which works for me:

                            I thought it would maybe possible to call directly an action from a script rather than an event, but I did not find anything like that in the docs. If I confirm it's not possible I will add this as a function that can be called from a script.

                              Thanks for the update, I will have a go over the weekend. Being able to call plugins directly is a huge benefit to my system and will do wonders to the WAF.

                                Here I am still playing with my xbmc "test" box. IE: base XBMC boxes connected to LCDs are small Aopen DE's (which work fine), smaller XBMC boxes are tabletop touchscreens using an Intel motherboard similiar to that of a PDA cell phone.

                                Moved base build from 2Gb to 16 gb. Works a bit faster than using the flash memory.

                                Next wanting to change base video drivers such that I get good streaming on my little mini box at 1080 versus 720. I can play back 1080 from the NAS but having a bit of issues doing live broadcast streaming (its not good enough yet).

                                This is more about live video feeds whatever they may be: IE: broadcast or CCTV. Even though I do not watch TV I want to do on demand live 1080 feeds stuff on the small xbmc box I am playing with. I do have another similiar box doing well with the Broadcom HD digital card in it with the 2Gb XBMC build. The video does well but the flash memory slows it down a bit and I still keep running out of space on this one even though I moved the DB to the "central" XBMC box.

                                So that said I am still not at the point of playing with the plugin; will get to playing with it in the next few days.
