just some clarification what i have in mind:
1) Movie/show details will always displays the details and enables the user to play the movie
2) different ways to go to details
A) touch a movie/show on the movie/show list/view
B) touch on a search result list (therefore only Poster, Title and short plot is needed on the search results)
3) search: will work on the section you selected, likeMovie/show/pictures, etc.
4)search can be set to work with local DB only
5) Actors search:
a) ordinary search like you search for movies/show/etc., possible to have more than one actor, if more than one actor is found user has to specify which one
b) touch on a actor picture in a detail view, display the search results for that specified actor
Do i make myself clear?
as usual, that's just me :-)
Best Regards
The thing with the actors is that there no search in Kodi for actors specific. I first need retrieve all the movies/series/episodes to know it.
Example, when searching for an actor name "lucy", I will get possible names. Because I searched all movies/series/episodes I already know in which each possible name played in.
I think you want to search only in actors, get the possible results, select the name and query the movies/series/episodes in which the actor played.
Technically possible, but I need do do the search twice.
How I see it then (example):
- when searching for "lucy" it returns the following:
- Movie: "Lucy"
- Actress Lucy Liu in the series "Elementary"
- Actress Lucy Liu in the episode "S01E02 - While you were sleeping" from the series "Elementary"
- Actress Lucy Liu in the movie "Charlie's Angels"
- Actress Lucy Gordon in the movie "Spider-man 3"
- Actress Lucy Lawless in the series "Spartacus"
