It works on Android13 - my previous tasker initent using SENDTO stopped working and even sending a plugin request through to the WOL app refused to go through. This recreates that intent to the WOL app and now all working perfect :)

Works great to send stuff to VLC but somehow it can't send to mpv-android with the same paramater as Tasker's send intent action.
