I want to open  dialogaddonsetting page for Simple PVR addon through onclick icon in main menu. I tried RunAddon , Runscrip but didn't work, is there any way to do it?

[Spiderfish]

I got this window ID in Kodi Wiki 10140 related to dialogaddonsettings.xml but when open shows me empty dialog box! how can I attach it with PVR simple client setting?

[ontap]

what are you actually wanting the shortcut to show ?

 I want to open the setting of PVR simple client addon directly without going to steps setting/aaddons/pvr addon/...etc

[ontap]

hmmm , not something that I have ever seen, why would anyone want that window on a home screen , its something that you would rarely if ever open ?
pointless item to have on home screen.

OK just tried it and it works.
Am using artic zephyr so it will differ depending on skin , in this skin in "skin settings-customise mainmenu" I add a menu item and in the list "settings" there is a "TV" option the actual action is "ActivateWindow(PVRSettings)"
not sure about caps in the line , if your skin doesn't have "TV" option , you can do it using "custom" option, tried it and it works.

Thats easy , go settings, addon,my add-on ,pvr-clients, simple-pvr and add it to favs, then go into skin settings, configure main menu and and add it as a menu item form favourites option, btw what skin you using ?

 but if he cleared the favorite will gone

[ontap]

No, once you have set it up as a main menu item , you can remove the item from favourites and the shortcut will remain working.
If your using estuary you will have to add it in "home.xml"

 I added pvr simple client in favorite but when I click on it nothing happened!

Have you tried it?  Does nothing here.

The only way I know to do this is via a script, so eg:

import xbmcaddon
xbmcaddon.Addon('pvr.iptvsimple').openSettings()

Then use RunScript in a shortcut / favourite / key to point at your script.
There may well be an easier way but I don't know it.
