    How to control add-ons from event?

    I'm trying to have HS3 be able to call the Icecast add-on (internet radio) and tell the add-on to select and play a particular station.

    I see that there is a setting in the plugin to send to an add-on, but I am clueless on the JSON configurations and syntax.

    In addition, is there a set of commands that could be used via a simple vb script that could be used instead of having to have multiple events?

    Eventually, once I figure this out, I can setup a button array in HSTouch to select preset stream stations.

    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I installed this addon and took a look at its code, and I don't think there is an easy way to make it play a particular station from HS using the Execute Addon action.

    One possible workaround would be to add your favorites stations as Kodi favourites (not the favourites at the Icecast addon level ) and then use something like I suggested in the following thread to play it: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=177791

    Ideally, I would need to add an "Open Favourite" action in a future version.

      with version 3.0.1.2 of the Kodi plugin you can now play a favourite by using the event action type "Player Open Media"
