Apps are launched via the "ubuntu-app-launch" command. The following example should point in the right direction: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ubuntu-app-launch mediaplayer-app video:///home/phablet/Videos/big_buck_bunny_480p_stereo.ogg This mechanism isn't very stable on my phone though. kind regards, Simon -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
