I assume it's the "&" in the title.
To confirm, can you please try to hardcode it with "Burke%20%26%20Hare" to see if that works?

Confirmed.
Titles containing '&' (abd maybe some other signs) dint get results.

Did you know a workaround,or can think of one to try ?

Try my github version of the helper
https://github.com/sualfred/script.embuary.helper

Add this to DialogVideoInfo:
<onload>RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=encode,string='"$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle]"',prop=TVShowTitle)</onload>
<onunload>ClearProperty(TVShowTitle,home)</onunload>

And then you should be able to use $INFO[Window(home).Property(TVShowTitle)] to get the provided string as encoded one for your xsp node.

Wow, thanks for fast response.
Will test it tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Thanks alot.
Working Pretty great.

Using onload

xml:
<onload condition="[ContainerContent(episodes) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,episode)] + [Skin.HasSetting(UseEnhancedDialog) + !Skin.HasSetting(UseExtendedInfoDialog)]">RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=encode,string='"$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle]"',prop=DecodedTitle)</onload>

    <onload condition="![ContainerContent(episodes) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,episode)] + [Skin.HasSetting(UseEnhancedDialog) + !Skin.HasSetting(UseExtendedInfoDialog)]">RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=encode,string='"$INFO[ListItem.Label]"',prop=DecodedTitle)</onload>

<onunload>ClearProperty(DecodedTitle,home)</onunload>

   

And use as content

xml:

Great.

But the prop has to be EncodedTitle, because you are encoding something

Oops, ... ;-)

@sualfred, @jurialmunkey  how would I code more complex syntax for this?

I have this right now to check for movies where the main cast members of the current movie appear in:

xml:

I want to add to this that the movie title is not the same as ListItem.Title, to exclude the current movie in the results.  How would I go about this?

Thanks for your help.

Bart

you cannot mix "or" and "and" with ?xsp.
But you can use https://github.com/sualfred/script.embua...the-script to create your own JSON call which supports this.

@bsoriano 

I've reworked my "getitemsbyactor" function. Maybe it fits to your needs:
https://github.com/sualfred/script.embua...ndom-actor
https://github.com/sualfred/script.embua...iven-actor

Only available on the GitHub branch atm.

@sualfred, thanks a lot! This does almost exactly what I was looking for! Would you consider adding 2 or 3 more actors to the “more items by given actor” widget?

@sualfred, thank you! I looked at this capability of your script, but I could not figure out the JSON call I needed. I admit I was a bit intimidated by the JSON API wiki.

Here is an example with multiple actors and a excluded title.

Code:


{'and': [{'or': [{'operator': 'is', 'field': 'actor', 'value': 'Vin Diesel'},{'operator': 'is', 'field': 'actor', 'value': 'Bruce Willis'},{'operator': 'is', 'field': 'actor', 'value': 'Sasha Grey'}]}, {'operator': 'isnot', 'field': 'title', 'value': 'Der Gigant aus dem All'}]}


@sualfred, thank you so much!

@sualfred, should I encode the title into URL format to use in that JSON call or just leave the regular infolabel, such as '$INFO[ListItem.Title]?
