The patch allows you to launch an external application with any parameters, regardless of the plugin config.
I use it to launch the browser with the desired url.
Used Plugin::Service() function.
Ulrich Eckhardt look at it please.

It is a little bit unclear to me how to use this feature. Maybe you can add a small example to the README?

Caller code example:
Code
Display Morestruct sPlayerArgs { string mMenuEntry; string mPlayerCommand; ePlayMode mPlayMode; bool mSlaveMode; bool mDeactivateRemotes; bool mBlockMenu; }; sPlayerArgs pa; pa.mMenuEntry = "browser"; pa.mPlayerCommand = *cString::sprintf("DISPLAY=:0 %s %s", "/usr/bin/chromium-browser --kiosk", "https://youtube.com/tv"); pa.mPlayMode = pmExtern_THIS_SHOULD_BE_AVOIDED; pa.mSlaveMode = false; pa.mDeactivateRemotes = true; pa.mBlockMenu = false; cPluginManager::CallFirstService("Run External", &pa); -
Sorry, I have no clue how to use this feature. Can you give at least an example how you use it?
