DisplayVideoInfo.xml Update Actor Image control
#1
I have a video add-on that calls DisplayVideoInfo.xml via a context menu add command:

li.addContextMenuItems([ (addon.getLocalizedString(30347), 'Container.Refresh'), (addon.getLocalizedString(30346), 'Action(ParentDir)'), (addon.getLocalizedString(30348), 'XBMC.Action(Info)') ])

I am having difficulty passing the image info (in this case I am testing with the Confluence skin) to the Actor image control in the DisplayVideoInfo.xml file.  Specifically:

              <control type="image">
                    <description>Actor image</description>
                    <left>210</left>
                    <top>480</top>
                    <width>160</width>
                    <height>160</height>
                    <texture>$INFO[Container(50).Listitem.Icon]</texture>
                    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
                    <visible>Control.IsVisible(50)</visible>
                </control>

If I change the texture parameter to a hard coded file name I get the image so I know the basic skin functionality is working as I want.  I am passing the DisplayVideoInfo.xml the rest of the parameters in the video info window just fine via the following code in my add-on:

if mediaClass_text == 'video':  
                    li.addContextMenuItems([ (addon.getLocalizedString(30347), 'Container.Refresh'), (addon.getLocalizedString(30346), 'Action(ParentDir)'), (addon.getLocalizedString(30348), 'XBMC.Action(Info)') ])
                    
                    info = {
#                        'id': '1234',
                        'duration': getSeconds(duration_text),
                        'genre': genre_text,
                        'year': release_year_text,
                        'title': title,
                        'plot': description_text,
                        'director': creator_text,
                        'tagline': tagline_text,
                        'writer': writer_text,
                        'cast': artist_text.split(','),
                        'artist': artist_text.split(','),
                        'rating': rating_val,
                        'code': imdb_text,
                        'mediatype': categories_text.split(','),
                        'season': season_text,
                        'episode': episode_text,
                        'lastplayed': lastplayed_text,
                        'aired': aired_text,
                        'mpaa':content_rating_text,
                        'playcount':playcount,
                        'trailer':trailerurl,
                        'icon':'d:\gbutler.jpg',
                    }
                    li.setInfo(mediaClass_text, info)
                    li.setProperty('ResumeTime', dcmInfo_text)
                    li.setProperty('TotalTime', str(getSeconds(duration_text)))
                    video_info = {
                        'codec': video_codec_text,
                        'aspect': aspect,
                        'width': video_width,
                        'height': video_height,
                    }
                    li.addStreamInfo('video', video_info)
                    li.addStreamInfo('audio', {'codec': audio_codec_text, 'language': audio_lang, 'channels': int(audio_channels_text)})
                    li.addStreamInfo('subtitle', {'language': subtitle_lang})


I tried hard coding the red text above for testing  but passing the icon variable is not supported this way according to: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/docs/python-docs/...em-setInfo
 
And the logs confirm it:

2020-03-26 19:51:47.544 T:34480   ERROR: NEWADDON Unknown Video Info Key "icon"

Can someone point me in the right direction here ?  I want to pass a list of URLs which point to files on my uPNP server to populate the  <texture>$INFO[Container(50).Listitem.Icon]</texture> skin element.  I know I am missing something simple here but just can't see it.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
