Full Version: Json query to pull details from a library path/playlist contained in a skin string

Hi, I have a background fanart slideshow that is populated using skin shortcuts to choose a library or playlist path and put it into a skin string.

Currently I use the path as the content source in a container to make a slideshow, but it is limited to one window because it relies on the local container.

What I'd like to do is to is use my addon to make it globally available. Is there a way to make a json query that can pull the list of items in a library or playlist path?

e.g. videodb://movies/genres/18/ 

or

special://skin/extras/playlist/inprogress_movies.xsp
If anyone stumbles on this in future, Files.GetDirectory is able to pull all the items from a library path or playlist!
