My embuary skin. Skins are mostly provided by my embuary helper script. All of them have the correct mediatype + dbid set

Edit:
But I also get "None" returned in libraries. The IDs are correct.

Code:


2019-08-25 18:11:06.848 T:27260  NOTICE: [ script.embuary.helper ] windowID 10025
2019-08-25 18:11:06.848 T:27260  NOTICE: [ script.embuary.helper ] win <xbmcgui.Window object at 0x0000015E70DC57D8>
2019-08-25 18:11:06.848 T:27260  NOTICE: [ script.embuary.helper ] cid 56

2019-08-25 18:11:06.856 T:27260  NOTICE: [ script.embuary.helper ] None


I'm going to install and test against Kodi nightly, perhaps something broke.

I was unable to reproduce the issue (sys.listitem not filling) with v18.3.

I'm running 18.3. It does not work anywhere.
 
Code that I'm using:

Code:


def test(params):
    windowID = xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId()
    xbmc.log('windowID ' + str(windowID),level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)
    win = xbmcgui.Window(windowID)
    controlID = win.getFocusId()
    xbmc.log('controlID ' + str(controlID),level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)
    control = win.getControl(controlID)
    xbmc.log('control ' + str(control),level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)
    listitem = control.getSelectedItem()
    xbmc.log('listitem ' + str(listitem),level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)


[sualfred]

Played with it again and I just can confirm that getSelectedItem() returns None in all cases if I'm trying to access a cList item that is not created by the same Python instance. If I add an item to the control via .addItem('bla') it removes all other listitems and replaces them with my new one and THEN I'm able to get the listitem data of the new one.  No None anymore. Grml.

Anyway, if you know any other way please let me know.

I am also interested in having this functionality fixed that would be important

in the netflix addon have the possibility to update the properties of an item such as context menu
this would save many update operations,
because now we are obliged to update the entire list of objects,
it's a huge job and takes a very long time!!

I found the solution in the Skin Helper Service code here: https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...log.py#L81

basically you have to add:

python:
if xbmc.getCondVisibility("Window.IsActive(busydialog)"):

    xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(busydialog)")

    xbmc.sleep(500)

before doing xbmc.getInfoLabel...
