I'm wondering what's the standard way for having a DialogVideoInfo that adjusts to whether the container is a Movie or a TV Show. I'm thinking it'd be something along the lines of having two major groups within the file, one with a <visible></visible> that appears if it's a movie, and one that appears if it's a TV episode. I don't know how to refer to that though.
I'm also interested on a conditional that appears only if the container doesn't have a plot.

<visible>Container.Content(TVShows)</visible>
EDIT: Or use dbtypes "String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,xx)" -> u can thake a look
here to decide whats better.

Hmm, so my case is that I display a fanart for movies, but when I load up and episode I want the thumbnail to show up instead. I tried with the following:
xml:
<control type="image">
<right>0</right>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.Art(thumb)]</texture>
<visible>!Container.Content(TVShows)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<right>0</right>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]</texture>
<visible>!Container.Content(Movie)</visible>
</control>
But it shows fanart in both cases. I added an exclamation mark because I saw it in some other code, and if I remove it, it doesn't display either image at all.
The ! negates the condition so it ends up meaning 'container does not contain tv shows'.
Also you want to use Container.Content(Episodes) for episodes.
Oh I understand now. Thanks guys!
