Code:

<favourite name="Test script">PATH</favourite>

Examples:

Code:

<favourite name="Test script" >RunScript("service.autostop","sleep=60")</favourite>

or

Code:

<favourite name="Test script" >RunScript("service.autostop","sleep","60")</favourite>

I am only aware of the ability to read the path to the script, but not the parameters.

Let me also give this a bit more context. An iOS App user raised a use case where scripts with parameters are added to Favourites. And it is possible to call those from Kodi UI, but the remote fails to call the parameters. See this thread.

To be able to support this I would need to read these script parameters and add them when issuing the JSON command to execute the script on the Kodi system. From the JSON API I see no obvious way to obtain such parameters. I just wanted to ask, if there are ways I did miss. Preferred would be to add a new return parameter to Favourite.Details.Favourite.
