RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - 2WhlWzrd - 2020-01-07
I'm occasionally seeing an "Embuary Helper error Check the log for more information" when browsing through the library.
What is causing this?
Embuary Helper error log 0
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-01-07
Which skin?
Edit:
Ah ftv.
@Hitcher
You need to exclude listitem.dbtype -> "set" for the getbydbid action
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - Hitcher - 2020-01-07
I used the example from the wiki.
https://github.com/sualfred/script.embuary.helper/wiki/Widgets:-Special-content#get-item-details-by-dbid
plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getbydbid&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&type=$INFO[ListItem.DBType]
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-01-07
I have no checks implemented. It's better to use a $VAR[] with a check for existing ListItem.DBID + ListItem.DBType is movie, tvshow, episode or season.
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - Chillbo - 2020-01-08
Thinking about adopting this script for my skin as well... Just wondering: Can the
RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=calc,do='"(10 + 5) / 2"',prop=MyResult) action also pickup values to calculate from infolabels?I'd like to use this to calculate the current output aspect ratio whenever opening a window. To be able to do this - as Kodi doesn't provide any aspect ratio infolabel that is not the (very buggy) skin aspect ratio infolabel - I can only see the option to calculate the aspect ratio using a script.

info labels are working

But be aware of "*all season". This item has dbtype "season" but isn't callable with JSON. Integer.IsGreaterOrEqual(ListItem.Season,0) should be fine. As far as I remember there was no problem with specials, which have "0".

As soon as I switch to using a VAR the list doesn't get populated.
Works -
xml:<control id="9001" type="list">
<include>HiddenHomeList</include>
<visible>System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID)</visible>
<content>plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getbydbid&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&type=$INFO[ListItem.DBType]</content>
</control>
Doesn't work -
xml:<control id="9001" type="list">
<include>HiddenHomeList</include>
<visible>System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper)</visible>
<content>$VAR[EmbuaryItemDetails]</content>
</control>
xml:<variable name="EmbuaryItemDetails">
<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID) + [String.Compare(ListItem.DBType,movie) | String.Compare(ListItem.DBType,tvshow) | String.Compare(ListItem.DBType,episode)]">plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getbydbid&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&type=$INFO[ListItem.DBType]</value>
<value></value>
</variable>
Any ideas?

string compare has changed to string.isequal([string],value)

Haha, not with it today.
Thanks.
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - bsoriano - 2020-01-19
@sualfred , would you consider adding a details_by_episode function to the script so that you can get tv show details info as window properties when what you have focused is an episode? I want to open an episode info window using the videodb:// path for the episode in a custom search dialog, but there is no ListItem info label for the tv show dbid, so I cannot build the full path
videodb://tvshows/titles/<tv show dbid>/<season>/<episode dbid>?season=<season>&tvshowid=<tv show dbid>. I have the season and the episode dbid, but not the tv show dbid. Thanks for considering my request.Regards,
Bart

Hi, i got an little 'issue' when try to blur images.
Most of the time its fine, but on some movie items it fails to blur image , even if it exists.
If i refresh the movie, the image can be blurred an all is working fine.
Unsure if that'll help
i packed a zip file, with MyVideos116.db ,log , and used nfo Files of 2 movies, where this was an issue. (each for before and after refresh)

I don't see any difference of the stored fanart path of "Bridge of Spies".
Both are having : H:\Filme\Bridge of Spies Der Unterhändler (2015)\Bridge of Spies Der Unterhändler (2015)-fanart.jpg
Weird that it works after you refreshed the item. Umlauts are no problem. Fixed that months ago.
But where does this exception came from? It's not related to the image blurring. What are you doing in this moment so I can reproduce it?

I just navigate to next movie (Bringing Out The Deead) and back again and open Info.
ONE THING I MISSED and not tested is the bahaviour when local nfo ist stored, which was the case here.
No time now to test myself to see if it's came from local nfo's.
