cron task to start playing TV station

Hi

In the past I had a set up to start streaming live TV using BBC iplayer, and stop respectively:

kodi-send –action=”PlayMedia(\”plugin://plugin.video.iplayer/?pid=bbc_news24&feed_channel=bbc_news24\”)”
kodi-send –action=”PlayerControl(stop)”

I’ve got TVheadend installed with FreeView and FreeSAT so I’d like to start playback of live TV from a cron job at 6am and stop it at 8:15am but I’m not sure what command to use? BBC London is the channel I want to play / stop and this is channel 1 on my HSTP client.

I think the stop command should still work but I’m not sure how to start playback. If it helps the Kodi instance will be at the home screen as I reboot the unit at 5am daily.
