Hello to Everyone.
I am using AMX to control my home theater, there have been several
threads over at AMX on how useful it would be for apps to be launched
within tp control.

I have attached the info from the thread, hope it helps.
Also the link to Kaleidescape with more info.

Much Appreciate your help
Cheers
Steve

Launching_Apps
Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support
for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other
applications. It's trivial to do so, but it is best to contact the
application developer to request the information in cases where the
information may not be readily available.

Kaleidescape have published the information within their 'Integrating
with Kaleidescape' document, which is available here:
http://www.kaleidescape.com/files/do...p-for-iPad.pdf

In short, to launch the Kaledescape application from a link in TPControl
use:

TPCURL-kscape://

This can be implemented either on a buttons properties for 'command
port: 0 - loopback port', or issued as a send_command from code.


You may have missed this from earlier in the thread:
"Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support
for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other
applications."

For example, Kaleidescape support the URL application launch method in
their iOS application and publish the syntax in their documentation.
Other developers of iOS applications may or may not provide a method e.g
Sonos currently do not. However, in the case where a method does not
exist, a "hack" is mentioned in this Sonos thread here:
http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=18409 (page 2)

It is typically trivial for developers to add support in iOS, so if you
contact the manufacturer for details, they should be able to tell you
whether they provide support or not.

TPControl can launch any application that supports the method, using the
TPCURL command.

Android applications can inherently be launched without the developer
needing to add support. The challenge is in determining the URL if not
published, but again if unsure the best idea is to contact the
developer.

In summary,
- iOS: a URL may or may not exist - contact application developer for
confirmation
- Android: a URL method will exist - contact application developer for
details
