Hello,

is it possible to create a similar screen / window to the what I can open when I click in my video library on "Movie Information"?
I haven't found a viable way yet.

1. Problem:
I added a contextMenuItem, to the corresponding ListItem.

Code:

listitem.addContextMenuItems([('Information', 'ActivateWindow(movieinformation)'),], False)

However, I can't find a way to execute code in my addon.py, since the item only can execute internal XBMC commands. Is there a way to execute my code on click of the button?

2. Problem:
I don't know how to create a Window looking like the move information window, I haven't found any good documentation on this. Is it even possible?

Thanks for any help!

You were close. What you want is:

Code:

listitem.addContextMenuItems([('Show Information', 'XBMC.Action(Info)',),], False)

Thanks a lot, but unfortunately it doesn't open anything.

This is my ListItem creation:

Code:

def forgeListItem(game):
    listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(game.game_name)
    if game.hours_played > 0:
        listitem.setLabel2("Hours played: %d" % game.hours_played)
    if game.artwork_logo[0]:
        file_path_png = game.artwork_logo[0]
        listitem.setIconImage(file_path_png)
        listitem.setThumbnailImage(file_path_png)
    if addon.getSetting("artwork_usefanart") == "true":
        if game.artwork_promo[0]:
            listitem.setProperty("Fanart_Image", game.artwork_promo[0])
    listitem.setInfo("video", {"title": game.game_name, "year": 2009})
    listitem.addContextMenuItems([('Game Information', 'XBMC.Action(Info)',),], False)
    return listitem

I've set some demo info and added the context menu, but it doesn't open the info screen

Ahhh ok, looks like you need to call xbmcplugin.setContent() so that it knows what version of the info dialog to display. Just call this some time before calling endOfDirectory()

Code:

xbmcplugin.setContent( handle=int( sys.argv[ 1 ] ), content="movies" )

Hmm. Weird. Doesn't open anything either.
Also there isn't anything in the log.

Edit: Wrong. I've found something weird in the log:

Code:
