Start Kodi add-on with single command

Is it possible to send a command to Kodi so it starts playing an add-on directly?

e.g. I’ve installed the Netflix add-on on Kodi, and when I push a button on HabPanel I would like that this add-on is automatically started.

e.g. I’ve installed the Redbull tv add-on on Kodi, and when I push a button on HabPanel, I would like that this add-on is automatically started.

Tx for your help

Hi Ivan,

It is possible to start a specific Kodi plugin by sending a command playuri channel. All you have to figure out is the correct syntax for Netflix. Similar to this example:

myKodi_playuri.sendCommand("plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=$VIDEOID")

One more option is to add the plugins to your Kodi favorites and use the playfavorite channel. Its options will be populated automatically during runtime.

I’ve tried the playfavorite, and this works like a charm.

Would it be possible to go directly to the list of “Recently added movies”?

I am afraid I am not aware of such a command.
