I have started using limelight on my Raspberry pi 2 few days ago. I love it. But its realy anoying to use SSH to quit kodi and start limelight every time i wish to play.
So i tryed to do a menu that would do all this. So i started a research on how to do it.

First How to add a custom menu into skin

Easy, no problem added with that part

CODE: SELECT ALL
<item id="666">
<label>Steam Games</label>
<onclick>System.Exec(/home/xbian/stream.sh)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
</item>


I done a script steam.sh:

CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo initctl stop xbmc
sudo java -jar /home/xbian/limelight.jar stream 192.168.x.x -1080 -30fps


in result my kodi (Helix) hangs.
When i start the script from SSH:
sh /home/xbian/stream.sh
Every thing works, but when i try to use the button in kodi no luck.
I have tryed System.ExecWait to same result.
Is there any other way to do that "The right way"?

I found this topic on OSMC forum

Tryed to implement it but it doesn't realy work.

Tested it with lines:
<onclick>Quit</onclick>
<onclick>System.Exec(/home/xbian/stream.sh)</onclick>

Any hints would be appriciated...
I've no idea what limelight is, but I doubt it is supported. It MAY be supported in later releases
