Can a plugin/addon display anything besides a simple list? (screenshot inside)
#1
Is it possible to write a plugin/addon that displays items with more information besides a single line of text?

Example:

As you can see, I'd like each item in the list to have an icon, then several lines of text next to it.

I'm hoping something that some generic GUI functions exist so I don't need to perform any skinning but I'm really not sure what's possible.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

The skin decides how your plugin is displayed, not the plugin writer. You supply information (such as episode, season, plot, thumb, fanart etc. etc.) and specify what type of content it is (tvshows, movies etc.) then the skin provides views appropriate to that type of content. For instance, many skins could show views similar to what you get in the movie library for plugins that provide movie content.

Cheers,

Hmmm, I thought plugins only supply "audio" or "video" types and not specifically "TV Show" or "Movie".

I'm looking at this guide: XBMC Addon Developers Guide -R7.pdf

Is there more information on creating "TV Show" plugins?

the plugin needs to set the content.

xbmcplugin.setContent(handle,'episodes')
