Full Version: Doing plot search outside MyVideoNav.xml
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello all,

When you do a search from MyVideoNav.xml (button 8), Kodi searches also plot content. Is there any way to do this search of plot content outside of myvideonav.xml? Any db path or library path or xsp path to do this type of search?

I am trying to replicate all of the functionality of the search button from MyVideoNav.xml in a custom dialog, but I am missing plot content search.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bart
did you tried the xsp method by using

code:
{"rules":{"or":[{"field":"plot","operator":"contains","value":["YOUR FILTER VALAUE, LABEL OR SKINSTRING"]}]},"type":"movies"}

for getting the results in a given window?

or did i misunderstood.

@mardukL, thanks! I have not tried that.  I will test, I didn't even think that I could use plot as a field  like that.
