you can use IsEmpty(VideoPlayer.Art(xxx)) (or am i missing something?)

phil65,

Sorry mate, you're missing something. That would work if you are using something supported by VideoPlayer.Art(xxx), but what happens if there is a art type not supported by Kodi? Or if you wanted to go that extra mile and try to bring in a image that had not been scanned into the DB but was still available in the local directory? For example here is one of my $VAR's

PHP Code:

    <variable name="ListViewVideoLogo">
        <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes) | Container.Content(movies)]">$INFO[ListItem.Art(clearlogo)]</value>
        <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo)) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes)]">$INFO[ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo)]</value>
        <value condition="IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(movies)]">$INFO[ListItem.path,,logo.png]</value>
        <value condition="IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo)) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons)]">$INFO[ListItem.path,,logo.png]</value>
        <value condition="IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) + Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,../logo.png]</value>
        <value>blank.png</value> 


If $INFO[ListItem.Path] has something in it, the $VAR would not be empty and so the IsEmpty would not work (although looking at what I have there, the second last <value> tag would still return something even if nothing there, so a bug on my behalf). Point is I want to make sure I show some graphic on screen, and I want to check thru a list of possible candidates until I find something to display. So from previous example in last message, check all of the possible cleararts, then all of the possible logos and finally just show the icon/thumb if nothing else available.

That's a lot of checks and a lot of code just to make sure something nice is showing on screen (and very likely a lot of time if I get right to the end before I find something to display).
