Since there are several addons like youtube, clipfish etc. etc. handling their stuff the same way the kodi library does, there is no way to separate them.

Example:

I have an overlay and TV Show Poster that should only be visible for example for TVShows, so i have:

1.

PHP Code:
<control type="image">
.........
.........
.........
.........
<visible>Container.Content(TVShows) + !Container.Content(Addons)</visible>
</control> 

and

2.

PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<texture>$INFO[Container(51).ListItem.Art(tvshow.poster)]</texture>
.........
.........
.........
<visible>Container.Content(TVShows) + !Container.Content(Addons)</visible>
</control> 

Now i enter an addon for ex. clipfish. This addon has clips tagged as TVShows and here comes the problem. There is no way to show me my overlay only for tvshows and not for addons.
Same for tvshow.poster. It's showing me the clip thumb and it looks bad because the tvshow.poster's set to stretch:

Is there a suggestion telling all the addon creators outthere to handle stuff the same way? Youtube for ex. uses clips tagged as Episodes, other addons are tagged as Files.
I really think this is a big mess, else i'm missing something obviously.

TV Shows (Library) works as as expected:

Thanx

How can we fix the image size problem with addons?

For fTV I used

PHP Code:
IsEmpty(Container.PluginName) 

in all the 'proper' views.

Thanx Hitcher, your suggestion seems to be the only way and it works perfectly.

Cheers

Code:
SubString(ListItem.path,plugin://,left)

shuld work to if i get it right
