Marcel, small request I had in my head long time ago... In my skin, i''m using a custom dialog, in the same style of Yes\No dialog. when I call this window, I set 3 strings with:
header, text, and action. so the user can get an explanation of what he's going to do in case of clicking "ok".

I wonder if you can do the same, using kodi yesno build in dialog, with those 3 parameters, same way like you already did with the OK Dialog function:
Code:
RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=dialogok,header[yourheadertext],message=[your message body])
something like:
Code:
RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=dialogyesno,header[yourheadertext],message=[your message body],action[action in case of yes])

Just install the addon from the Kodi repo and you should be fine, it will auto install the beatutifulsoup dependency.
I guess you installed manually by overwriting files ?
Hi Marcel,

One more feedback after further testing the PVR thumbs scrapper. Works really fine on my side, good job !

Also, about the constant stuff, I think you're busy those times, so just ping me if you have something you want me to test (I have a crazy project in mind is this can be achieved Wink ...)
Hi Marcel,

It is probably by design, but it appears that Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.RottenTomatoesAudienceRating) pulls metascore which is based on metacritic.com and not Rotten tomatoes audience rating as the property description states.

I checked omdbapi.com and they provide both ratings.

Thanks for the catch, I will adjust it to return both values

could it be connected to this change in mainmodule.py in commit 'bunch of small fixes' from 20 day ago?

- selectedItem = selectView(contenttype, currentView)
+ viewid, viewlabel = selectView(contenttype, currentView)

Hi Marcee,

Have you had any chance to look into this view selector query?

Thanks.

Mike
@Marcel

Sorry, I forgot about it. Should now be fixed on Git.
And another request Big Grin

RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=reset)
-> Could you please add the "filter=string1|string2|string2" to the reset option, too?
Hi Marcel,

Would it be possible for you to integrate this with regards to animated posters

Perhaps a call to the json database that returns something like Window(home).property(anitamtedposter) and Window(home).property(originalanitmatedposter) with different calls / actions?

Just wondering if it possible and then if you would be interested in adding it to skin helper?

TIA

Mike.

is it possible to add a "•" for the album name, or as a option the year, so if the name wrap over a line its better to read, " the Moment You Realize you're Going to fall" in this case

Check latest git version. It now has SkinHelper.Music.Albums.Formatted and TrackList.Formatted properties
