How to use Label2 for TV Shows? - vl_maksime - 2019-09-29

I'm set label2mask property for the sorth method with xbmcplugin.addSortMethod.
For movies 'Label2' is filled correctly.

But for the TV shows 'Label2' is not filled.

Here is example of my code:

python:
def list_movies():



# Movie item

list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label='Movie Item')



list_item.setInfo('video', {'title': 'Movie Item',

'year': 2019,

'mpaa': '18+',

'mediatype': 'movie'})



list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable', 'true')

url = ''

is_folder = False



xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)



# Folder settings

xbmcplugin.setContent(_handle, 'movies')

xbmcplugin.setPluginCategory(_handle, 'Movies')

xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(_handle, xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_NONE, '%Y / %O')



xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(_handle)





def list_tvshows():



# TV Show item

list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label='TV Show Item')



list_item.setInfo('video', {'title': 'TV Show Item',

'year': 2019,

'mpaa': '18+',

'mediatype': 'movie'})



url = ''

is_folder = True



xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)



# Folder settings

xbmcplugin.setContent(_handle, 'tvshows')

xbmcplugin.setPluginCategory(_handle, 'TV Shows')

xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(_handle, xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_NONE, '%Y / %O')



xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(_handle)

What I need to do so that 'Label2' is filled for a TV show?

the functionality to set label2 for folder items was recently added to Kodi (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16433),
so make sure you're running at least Kodi 18.4

i'm not sure which sort methods can be used for tv show folders... but at least this one works:

python:
xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(_handle, xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_TITLE, '%Y / %O')

I'm using stable build of Kodi 18.4

Yes, this sorting method works. But only year value is shown, MPAA value is not showed.
Looks like label2mask value is ignored for folders. When I'm set the sort method to "xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_MPAA_RATING" it's show only MPAA value.

Should be fixed by PR #16705
