I can't comment on what you are writing about a playlist offset, but if you want to look at my experimental implementation of the workaround, it's just released in my latest KODI 17 skin version:

3.0.63 (2016-09-28)
- Added new skin option: "Hide some fullscreen VideoOSD buttons for simplicity (rewind/fforward)"
- Added new experimental skin option: "Show INFO-button in VideoOSD (opens the info dialog for movies/episodes)"
[...]

I have a similar approach for visibility condition in VideoOSD.xml while using (besides other code):

Code:

<visible>Skin.HasSetting(ExperimentalVideoOsdInfoButton) +    [ VideoPlayer.Content(Movies) | VideoPlayer.Content(Episodes) ]    + !String.IsEqual(Playlist.Length(video),0) + VideoPlayer.HasInfo + !Player.IsInternetStream + !Pvr.IsPlayingRecording</visible>

Additionally i have error control. If playlist item path and filename don't match the path and filename of what is playing, the workaround will be automatically canceled cleanly and switched back to fullscreen video. Better then leaving the user on the playlist wondering what went wrong.

Just for inspiration, my MyPlaylist.xml includes (besides other code):

Code:

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(ExperimentalVideoOsdInfoButton) +    !String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(OSDinfodialogButtonActive)) + String.IsEqual(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,Player.FilenameAndPath)">Action(info)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(ExperimentalVideoOsdInfoButton) +    !String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(OSDinfodialogButtonActive)) + !String.IsEqual(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,Player.FilenameAndPath)">Dialog.Close(all,true)</onload>
    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(ExperimentalVideoOsdInfoButton) +    !String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(OSDinfodialogButtonActive)) + !String.IsEqual(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,Player.FilenameAndPath)">fullscreen</onload>

Hey,

Seems to work for the wrong entry in the List

Thanks for inspiration.

Happy to report that
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10567
is now merged. I think i'll include some optional support for using the now available DBID with skin helper service, if installed.
