Kodi tv series button

Configuration
1

Hi … I created a remote control in home assistant that manages kodi installed on a mini pc. Using for example service: kodi.call_method
method: Input.Up…method: Input.Home
Now I’d like to know if there is a command that can take me directly to the TV series or movie page … Thanks

I don’t think such options exist in the API https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v12

You could create a script that sends Home, Down, Down, Enter.

I solved it using GUI.activateWindow.

- type: button
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: kodi.call_method
          service_data:
            method: GUI.ActivateWindow
            window: videos
            parameters:
              - TvshowTitles

Of course you can replace tvshowTitles with RecentlyAddedMovies for recently added movies, or MovieTitles etc.
So it seems to work.
Grazie
