you can currently only search musicvideos by title.
but, i'll change that to also include the artist name in a future release.

Please help understand why I couldn't play movies or tv shows these files are found but I can't play, see attached log report

Thanks

RE: GlobalSearch Script - ronie - 2020-05-31

could you please provide a Debug Log ?
a normal log, like you've posted , doesn't provide any useful details.

RE: GlobalSearch Script - ronie - 2020-05-31

thanx, it seems to be related to the emby plugin..

i'm not familiar with it, but briefly installed it and did some tests.
playing a movie works fine directly from the search results,
but if you open the video info dialog first and play it from there, it fails.

@sualfred since you're more into emby then i am, do you have any idea?
(or know someone who might have...)

Thanks, I am sure Sualfred will see to the issue as he's part of the developers of Emby for Kodi addon.

I guess what you mean is

movie it will play if set as below:
Setting >Media>Video> Default select action>play

movie it will not play if set as below:
Setting >Media>Video> Default select action>Show information

Thanks, I am sure Sualfred will see to the issue, also I have reported the issue in Emby for Kodi Forum.

@ronie
I'm not sure, but 1< year ago we talked about something like a Python locked state while the info dialog is opened from a globalsearch container and other python scripts were stalled in this case. I wasn't even able to perform simple "RunScript()" commands in this case. But it's been a very long time that I cannot remember exactly.

@t123thomas
If you server is in the local network you can try the native sync method if this changes anything.

thx, spot on!

this needs a fix in kodi core:

RE: GlobalSearch Script - elsmore - 2020-06-26

This is a great add-on, but I come up against one UX issue quite a bit. Say I search for an artist name, and get a list of of artists. Good so far. I then click on the artist to view a list of their albums. I then click on an album to view a list of tracks. I decide it is in fact the album I want to listen to, but from here I can only play individual tracks and I can't go back. If I want to play the whole album I have to start the search process again, select the artist, then right-click on the desired album to play it.

Is it possible to add a 'back' button in the search results navigation?

RE: GlobalSearch Script - ronie - 2020-06-26

sadly, there's no easy out-of-the box way for scripts to have a back button.
but, i found it annoying myself as well... so i gave it my best shot and implemented it a few weeks ago.

it's available for testing in the addon repo for Kodi v19 Matrix.

You legend! I'll give it a go, thank you.

Edit: Working now

Did something change in last few days? I am unable to install on 18.6. Tried from repository and it said installation failed. Tried zip from Github and it said something about needing Python 3. I just installed this on my other machine with no problems a few days ago.
