Using your keyboard function keys to start addons & playlists etc - thebearnecessit - 2012-09-21
I have edited my keyboard.xml so that my keyboard function keys open playlists and things.
My question is how can I make these function keys actually start playing my video playlists (instead of listing the playlist videos)?
here is what I have in my keyboard.xml in the 'global' section:
They all 'work' fine except I want the playlists to automatically play. I have tried adding comma play at the end but it didn't work: ,play (The last one opens the youtube addon directly at the youtube search section, by the way in case anyone wants to steal that idea).
