I've added a small and optional context menu addon to use the script in any skin. It's already availalbe in my repo and has been submitted to the Kodi repo. Should be available soon to everyone.

Works very well! Maybe you can add something to override the onback function like in extendedinfo?

snippet:

python:
        onback = self.getProperty("%i_onback" % control_id)

        onback = self.getProperty("%i_onback" % control_id)

        if onback:

            xbmc.executebuiltin(onback)

so if onback, i can set focus to a controllist f.e. 

xml:
<onload>SetProperty(10052_onback,SetFocus(9000))</onload>

then it would be perfect for me

[sualfred]

Nope. Onback is used to call the dialog history/previous dialog.

Edit:
Err.. wait. What exactly should happen if you trigger onback? Changing the focus without closing or what exactly?

[sualfred]

Ah, sorry, it's already late.

Please try the latest GitHub commit.

Examples:

• <onload>SetProperty(onclose,SetFocus(100))</onload> = To set a general action if a window is going to be closed. Like reseting the focus to a default control
  
• <onload>SetProperty(onback_10052,SetFocus(900))</onload> = Don't close the window, but set focus to ID 900 if onback was called while container 10052 was in focus.

Nope. Onback is used to call the dialog history/previous dialog.

Edit:

Phil added a function for me in extended info where you could set an onback property for a specific container. If the property was set and that container focused, then the script would do the action in the property rather than close the dialog.

It is mostly used so that you can send focus back to the top list or row of buttons on back rather than close the window.

EDIT: I see you've just added it

[sualfred]

Yeah, thanks. My brain is just not working as it should on midnight so it took a few minutes until I understood the request

[Hitcher]

Nice, so my onback actions from the lists will now be honoured and focus will go back my main buttons instead of closing the dialog?

[sualfred]

Yes, but the onback commands from your lists will still be ignored but you can add them in the header of the dialogs via onload as setproperty for all containers where you want to have your own onback command.

[Hitcher]

Understood, thanks.

[beatmasterrs]

works like a charm, thanks a lot

Hi @sualfred Getting a repeatable error on a specific movie in my library all the others I have checked work fine. Not sure what is so special about this one

I am using:

xml:


RunScript(script.embuary.info,call=movie,external_id=$INFO[ListItem.IMDBNumber])

Here is full LOG.

Error report:

xml:

Thanks

EDIT: Found another movie
Same traceback but different position.

Code:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xbd' in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)

Do you want another log?

Quick search on Google led me HERE.

Don't know if that helps but I do see str on line 401 in tmdb_utils.

I also have no idea what I am talking about...

[sualfred]

Thanks, should be fixed on my repo.

@mikeSiLVO 
Could you please confirm?

[mikeSiLVO]

Sorry, but I am still getting the same error.

Sorry for beeing late, and just to get you right - with this i dont need to set the propertys for the items via a hidden button and also dont need to put button+action in dialogcontextmenu.xml (like it was in early release)
??
