I'm quite new to skinning and extendedinfo, and I have a pretty basic question. What is a simple way of getting the IMDB-id for a selected item? Something like $INFO[ListItem.IMDBNumber], but for items where the information comes from extendedinfo, not locally stored.

if available, then it should be listitem.property(imdb_id).

Nope, not working. $INFO[ListItem.property(imdb_id)] is empty, even for movies that are definitely in IMDB.

I dont do a manual lookup at imdb, i just expose what the scraper delivers, so if the API of trakt or TMDB does not contain an imdb id then there is no chance to get one. Which specific call do you mean?

I'm trying to do a mod of a skin which uses the file script-ExtendedInfo Script-DialogVideoInfo.xml to display information about movies that are not in kodis db. It displays the movies info using calls like
<label fallback="19055">$INFO[Window.Property(movie.director)]</label>
so i thought that it might also be possible to display the IMDB id. Could i maybe get the TMDB?

in that case it would be $INFO[Window.Property(movie.imdb_id)] of course.
TMDB id is $INFO[Window.Property(movie.id)]

One more thing, is there a way to tell if the movie.id is from a movie or a tvshow?

Window.Property(Type) should contain the dialog content.

Hi Phil,
I am on Helix 14.2. I tried installing Extended Script Info from the zip file, and right now it shows that the ESI is on 3.0.1
But the github version file says that the most recent release of extended script info is of v3.1.0
Am i still on the old version with 3.0.1?
I tried to uninstall the previous version before i install the new version, but it woulndt allow me to telling me that currently its used by Aeon MQ6
Please guide
