The problem I have is that the main list, say 811 is always focused. I have this:

Where Artist_albums has list 812 in it. 812 is never focused as it just displays a list after system idle of 5 seconds. No matter what I've tried I can't get Kodi to thin it is 'focused' on 812, the debug always says 811 even when 812 is diaplayed and working?

The last section Music.Tracklist shows all tracks for the artist not the Container(812).ListItem.Album. Ignore some of the code as alot of it is hack code to get logo etc as most of your props don't work, hence the hack code to get cdart. This is WIP so alot will change if of course there is a light at the end of the tunnel or not?

Hmm, it's a tricky one. The list doesn't need to be focused for the properties to be set, as long as you set the right container ID in the window prop.
Why not have the user navigating to the albums himself, so use an <onright> to focus the albums ? That would solve all the issues.

As for the other props, you're using all the workaround stuff for the music artwork but that is just something I have a solution for in the script.
Or did you just do that to workaround this issue ?

I think the best is to have the user focus the 2nd list himself, that will prevent you from a major headache with using alarmclocks etc.
