hello...

for my skin, here are my 3 problems :

CAST :

i guess Cast list for tvshow, movie,etc... is already in kodi database....but we can only get it in dialogvideoinfo and container(50)....

Is there any possibility to get cast list , including pictures, outside of Dialogvideoinfo ?


Actually, the only solution i get is to call this in a list container :

Code:

<content target="videos">plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&amp;tvshow=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]</content>

i think to do it by another addon is non sense if all informations are already in database....


EPISODES :

using thetvdb addon, i don't find a solution to get the total number of tvshow episodes......
Usefull for showing how many episodes are missing until the season end....

SUBTITLES :

ListItem.SubtitleLanguage provide language of subtitle, but the is no difference with Forced and not......
So, in movie, i get many subtitles flags with the same language except one is for all dialog and one is for forced .....

example :

Texte #1
ID : 4
Format : UTF-8
Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/UTF8
Identifiant du codec/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text
Durée : 59mn 43s
Débit : 0 bps
Count of elements : 12
Taille du flux : 203 Octets (0%)
Titre : FR FORCED
Langue : Français
Default : Oui
Forced : Oui

Texte #2
ID : 5
Format : UTF-8
Identifiant du codec : S_TEXT/UTF8
Identifiant du codec/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text
Durée : 1h 50mn
Débit : 52 bps
Count of elements : 1373
Taille du flux : 42,2 Kio (0%)
Titre : FULL FR
Langue : Français
Default : Non
Forced : Non

But under KODI, ListItem.Property(SubtitleLanguage.1) is Fre
and ListItem.Property(SubtitleLanguage.2) is Fre

Can't really check fo Forced flag ?


Thank

Not possible -

problem is it requires many extra queries which slows down the listing tons...

You can use skin.helper

He siad he don't want to use skin helper for the cast thinks its nonsense using a addon.

I don't get what the issue is.

[telexxingou]

Sorry for that, but the non sense is that kodi database hasvideodb://movies/sets//movies/sets/ant to use but for use it i must use an external program…. (Script)



I found solution for movieset, songs and albums, to avoid calling skinhelper to get detail… .

Skinhelper is great but sometimes seem to lag… .
May be fast if we can access directly to database like with videodb: //… .. ,with content tag…

Anyway, it appear skinhelper is the only solution to get casting outside of dialogvideinfo… .

[badaas]

Once cached skin helper is fine.
You will get same initial lag as kodi cacheing first run.

And sorry for previous nonsense!

[telexxingou]

in those views , i get more fast result,than skinhelper, to get movies inside movieset with

Code:

<content sortby="year" sortorder="ascending">videodb://movies/sets/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]</content>

and here with in artists view to get artists albums details :

Code:

<content>musicdb://artists/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]</content>

that's why i don't understand why we can't do same with cast.......
