Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get an idea of how it works before I commit to coding.

MovieDB API returns actor name, actor id, actor role etc as separate labels. xbmc / kodi merges those when shown inside dialogvideoinfo. I think I didnt´ turn off my script debug logging yet, so you probably can see the whole JSON answer in xbmc debug log.

And even withoug the movieDB API, it´s not too hard to split labels in python.

EDIT: bit more explicit: MovieDB API returns actor name, actor id, actor role etc as separate labels for every actor on any movie info call, but not the biography and also not the filmography. those need separate API calls.
and just for info: Both movie info dialog and actor info dialog basically only need one JSON call to get all the info (because of the great MovieDB API, it´s by far the best out there.)
Movie Info Dialog only does a second one if the movie is part of a set.

Is there a way to run this in the background?

I'm trying to use it so I can just set properties for actors and roles from the list (id=50) for use in dialogvideoinfo. Unless it's possible using python to separate the labels provided in the dialogvideoinfo cast list into actor and role which would also mean it could be used for tv shows as well?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean exactly? What do you want to run in the background?
I do not deal with anything in DialogvideoInfo.xml at all, i completely pulll all info from TheMovieDB.

Nevermind, though of an easier way but it's not working.

Is this the correct way to load directly in dialogvideoinfo for actor names and roles?


EDIT: contained a typo before.

Code:

<content>plugin://script.extendedinfo?info=extendedinfo&amp;&amp;dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]</content>

EDIT: contained a typo before.

no, that script dialog can only act as a replacement for DialogVideonInfo.xml with a pretty dirty hack,
you have to put

into the header of dialogvideoinfo.xml.

info=extendedinfo cannot be used with <content>.

This is definitely a no-go for official-repo skins i guess.

OK, and I've just realised this will only work for movies anyway so back to the drawing board.

Thanks.

TV Shows is almost done already, too

Cool, I'll keep working on my idea then.

Also still have the problem with AudioDB changing their API and removing strSubGenre. see my previous post thanks.

AudioDB should be fixed now. Will have a look at the onclicks, I only checked youtube vids for the infodialogs.

Friendly bump...

Tried to play a Youtube video from the "Youtube Top Music Videos" widget and still getting this error.

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,action=youtubevideo,id=$INFO[ListItem.Property(youtube_id)])

It's an onclick from your own widget. where would I find the onclick to change it?

oh, thaught you were using properties method. Plugin:// should be fixed now, too.

Is it possible to get the date when the last episode of a tvshow was aired using this script?

I got the videos to play but can't seem to get them to play in a smaller window with my addon.
Is it possible using your method of playing youtubes without the youtube addon to somehow play the video in a preview widow?

I'm running youtubes in a smaller window from an addon I'm developing. To play videos in the smaller window instead of fullscreen..
I'm using the commands below with windowed=true. thanks.

you have to add the parameters to def PlayTrailer(youtube_id) in Utils.py (l. 57)
