Hi all,
First time poster, long(ish) xml-hacker here.
(Not at my kodi-hacking station, so examples are very pseudo - sorry)
Can you enlighten me about the DBID? - Or more specifically getting the album artist DBID from an album listing?
I want to make a list of albums by a certain album-artist to show in album view as a second listing. I don't think this is asking too much of a music database engine? It has however proved to be beyond my hacking-skills. But seeing that we can get the album artist name, the DBID just has to be right around the corner? I have it all pretty much working nicely, except for getting the album artist DBID number.
With the album-artist DBID I could use "music://artists/DBID" as contents to fill the artist specific list of albums.
My music "skin" is setup using albums in a dynamic content contatiner that has target="music", works nicely and I can get the album.DBID and artist name and other text-extractions, but the Artist.DBID is simply not there?. Shows albums, songs and what not in a single view.
Thanks, and sorry if I am being unclear, I am not that deep in the terminology - yet
