It's a Pop up search box in xbmc,
the keyboard emulation works in both of our commands,
the problem that I can't get around is that if I perform a search a second time (either the same movie title or a different movie title) the search box doesn't show up, it goes straight to the last results of the previous search,
I have tried reloading the skin at the beginning of the command, but still have the same results
As for a direct url, I found that it does show a url in the log, but I haven't been able to get it to work
This is from my Log file, I added a empty line above and below the url

this is the command that I have tried, all it does is cause xbmc to hang for a second or two but nothing happens
