@jurialmunkey , thanks! Ideally, what I had in mind was this:

1. The user clicks on the genre (multiple items separated by / )
2. Show a select dialog asking them to either search online in tmdb or search locally
3. If search online, run your plugin to show another select dialog with the separated genres, so that the user can choose one
4. With that selected genre, I got as far as thinking that since what I want is a list of movies that have that genre, your plugin already has that call that can be used as the content for a list. After reading your message now, I got to thinking that perhaps what I could do is open a custom window with the list of movies that have that genre.
So I guess the plugin could set a window property with the selected genre, and then I could open a custom window with the list, using the same type of content path as the custom info list of more movies of a genre that I already have in dialogvideoinfo
5. If search locally, use embuary.helper to show another select dialog with the separated genres, so that the user can choose one
6. With that selected genre, open my custom search window to show movies with that genre.

What do you think? Do you see this a doable? The same thing could be applied to Studio.

Please let me know if you think this is something that you would want to do or if you think of a different/better solution.  The local part I have almost completely working with embuary.helper, sualfred created a function in his script that splits the items and shows a select dialog with the splitted items as choices.

Thank you for your help!

@jurialmunkey , I have everything setup as I wanted, using a custom search window with your plugin paths for content for genre and for studio.

Right now my issue is with person queries.  At least today, whenever I use the plugin add_query function, I do not get the person info window.  From what I can see in the log, tmdb is throwing http 404 errors:

It doesn't look like any person queries are working.  TMDb issue?  Any ideas?

Sorry, yeah it looks like I've introduced a bug where they aren't getting split correctly. I'll look at fixing it later today. 

Thanks!
