v18 Update infolabels for current playing media in player
#1
Hi,

in some cases with strm files it would be nice to have an option for updating the infolabels of current playing media. In my case i created an option to grab content from kodi-db to set it to the player.

The Background:

the netflix addon exports a strm file which includes an m3u header as a minimal info source (like 'movie (2002)' or 'Arrow - S01E03') as fallback if nothing other exists. In some causes i can't get the content before playing to add it to resolveurl, so the player grabs the m3u header AFTER palyback has started where i can't set the infolabels. So it would be nice to get the content from kodi db for the media based on the info from title of player and update the infolabels in the player with the content from kodi db.

So something like xbmc.player.setInfo(infoLabels) would be fantastic!

Yes, that is exactly what I need too.  Please consider adding this function, need this for showing artist, title and fanart during online stream and grabbing info from radio website. Thank you.
