Have you ever wondered if there is a way to launch an app or other function from within Kodi?
Well yes you can and here’s how to do it.

 

As well as using the old faithful Ctrl+S on my keyboard, I often use an Android App for taking Screenshots.
This App is called Screenshot Easy and can be downloaded from most App stores.
Now, to save having to come out of Kodi and launch the App from my home screen I just made a shortcut for it and popped it on the submenu of my Services section.

This is how I did it.

First go to Program addons

That should be it!. Back out of here now to your main screen and just wait a few secends while kodi organises the new menus.

You can see I now have a new submenu item under Service called SCREENSHOT.

If I click on this new link now it takes me straight to the Android App. Not only that but when I exit the App it takes mae straight back into kodi.
