System.Exec Not Working

Cant get System.Exec to work.
Can someone inform me of the correct way to launch a .sh from osmc kodi menu.

Im trying to launch parsec. I just type parsec from anywere in command and it launches but I also kbow the location of the parsec.sh Im guessing I also need to make it executable.

I have done lots of searches on google to fibd info and looks like most are using a bash file that then links to the .sh file is this true?? Been at this for ages so any help would be appreciated.

Link to Parsec install methods.

Check this post, maybe it helps

How do I get RetroPI option on main menu?

(The following is true for the default OSMC skin - for Estuary and other skins, you’ll need to reach out to their developers/users for specifics.) ‘Settings’ > ‘Interface’ > ‘Skin’ > ’ - Configure skin’ to bring up the skin settings, then ensure ‘Home’ is selected on the left. If you see ‘Enable menu customisation’ on the right then select it and follow the prompts to install the Skin Shortcuts script, otherwise go straight to ‘Customise main menu’. You can then add a new menu item with ‘Add’ …

I put together some scripts that do the trick: *link removed

I finally got around to creating a full featured Parsec addon for OSMC/Kodi.

Hi,

I got an similiar problem to yours. I try to call a script from kodi menu, which opens a new virtual terminal and another sh script. Here is the problem. Each time the first script try to open the other script there comes the failure: “Cant open test.sh”

The first sh got the following content: sudo su pi -c “openvt -s -f sh sudo test.sh”; sudo systemctl stop mediacenter;

The second script Test.sh: sudo parsec server_id=XXX; sudo systemctl start mediacenter;

When i try to run both commands manual or together from ssh terminal it works fine! So I guess there is a problems with my rights or maybe i miss something at openvt?

Hope somebody could help me!

Thanks in advance!

“Cant open test.sh”

The first sh got the following content: sudo su pi -c “openvt -s -f sh sudo test.sh”; sudo systemctl stop mediacenter;

Use full paths in your scripts otherwise it will fail
