@billyrene , here are some of the other things that the info dialog can do, in case you have not found them yet:

1. You can click on the Director, and Amber will search where this person has appeared.  If you have TMDb Helper and Embuary Helper enabled, you can choose whether the search is local or online. 






If online, you get the same person info dialog I showed before for an actor, with the same functionality:



If you search locally, you get this:




2. You can do the same thing with writer.  If there are multiple people for director or writer, Amber will show you a dialog to choose for which one you want to do the search, after you select to search either online or locally.

3. You can also click on Genre, and search either locally:





Or online:



As you can see from above, you also have the indicators which show which items you have in your library.

4. You can click on country, and Amber will search locally for which movies you have from that country.  The search here is only local, since the TMDb API does not have a search by country functionality.  So you would get this;



5.  Finally, you can also click on Studio, with the same functionality of searching online or locally, including deciding for which one you want to do the search if there are more than one.  In the example below, I searched locally:






I hope this gives you a better idea of the capabilities of the video info dialog in Amber.

hello again and thanks so much for all the info. i knew pretty much of all of it already beforehand. i don't know how it it on windows or  PC but unfortunately TMDB helper is useless on android tv since i wait at least 20 - 30 seconds for online information, sometimes longer and sometimes it doesn't even show up at all but keeps loading and loading. embuary helper is also useless since it constantly crashes kodi, other people also reported this issue already with this helper...

because i have tried pretty much all of your suggestions already and they didn't work for me very well i just wanted to get the most out the info dialogue.

@billyrene , on Windows both addons work well.  That's too bad that they do not work well on Android TV.  Perhaps it would be good to report the issues in the respective forum threads for those addons, to see if the authors can improve the functionality on Android TV.  I do not have that environment to test in, so I had not noticed.

I will go back and look at the issues you mentioned, to see if there is something else I can do to improve without either of those addons.  Are there any other issues that you would like me to address? Please let me know.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart
