Hi, since we finally have Player.DBID (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10567), one "big small" thing for skinners still seems to be missing:

You can't open a DialogVideoInfo on a movie directly, even if you know the DBID.


These days it's possible to make shortcuts to a movie-set knowing the setid. Working example: ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/sets/HEREGOESTHEsetID,return)

Something similar should be possible for a movie, too.

Something like this - non-working example:

ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/movies/HEREGOESTHEmovieDBID,return)

should open DialogVideoInfo on the movie with the given id.


Thanks!

Did this happen? Lazy bump ..

Afaik it did not happen in the way i described. Did not check recent Leia changes, but i doubt it did happen there. So im talking Krypton.

Still - good news is for KODI 17.x is: For some use cases you can now nicely use: service.library.data.provider to provide an insivible dummy list with exact one item with a known DBID.

If you do something like
<onclick>SetFocus(43260)</onclick>
<onclick>Action(Info)</onclick>
on that list, you can open DialogVideoInfo directly.

Take a look at my skin if you're interested in this solution. You can see how i did use the possibility within Video OSD.
