OK but I just set up a TMDB helper widget and I'm not able to get the MPAA and run time metadata on the details row like you have on any titles in the widget (unless it's a title already in my library).


In your image, is the focussed item a title already in your library or do you get the details row metadata on all tmdb helper titles in the widget?

I wrote this in the topic of tmdb helper.

For some reason the trakt lists from tmdb helper work perfectly and this is the screenshot with that setup. Tmdb lists have a problem with some things. I see that in the previous few updates it has not been fixed yet. I'll try to talk to him on github as well.

tmdb helper requires the skin to implement TMDB Helper service monitor in order to fetch MPAA/Time/other information for the highlighted item in widgets, to reduce wait times and load on trakt/tmdb servers (better than fetching everything before loading the widget)

I think we definitely need this! I had a quick look at the github wiki for tmdb helper and I’m still not sure I’ve understood how to implement this.

Have you done this before? Or what’s the best example of its implementation so I can rob their code. Preferably not one of the authors skins who probably had it heavily integrated into his skins. Ideally another skin that has it tacked on so I can easily pick out how they integrated it.
