If it's possible with the help of a script to avoid any part/size of code then that's the way to go. Furthermore in this case the click--> play and click--> show info are the only options. Choosing click--> play as default action it makes perfectly sense. If user wants to open the video info dialog he can press "I" to show it. Or you can honor Kodi's setting "Default select action". The same logic like in video section.

Sorry I misunderstood what you were suggesting. You can already change the default action to play with the &widget=True param.
This param makes Movies|Episode = Play and TvShows = Browse Seasons.

I originally thought you were asking for the script to force "Action(Info)" if the tmdb_id param was empty when passed to info=play - which would cause all sorts of problems.

It's not a dead item. It opens the next page of results. Anyway, you only add nextpage=True if you want to display the next page item.

The default is always False for all boolean params (i.e. for widget, fanarttv, nextpage). The plugin only ever checks if these are set to True - if the param is omitted or set to any other value, then it will be treated as False.

The plugin caches the detailed item if it is accessed and uses that info if available. So if the service monitor has pulled info for that item previously, then you will get cached details in the list.

Added in latest.

I did a comparison of the "Popular Movies" list with extendedinfo.script and yours for an item that it's in local db and some stuff are missing or disabled.

Extended info merges local db info with online info. TMDbHelper is only online info, which is intentional for performance reasons and also to make it clear where the info comes from.

Cast list will be available if the detailed item is previously cached.

My Rating displays fine for me for items with dbid. If there is a mismatch between title/year on TMDb and in your local db, then a dbid won't be found. Extendedinfo has a fuzzier search because it ignores year whereas mine is a much stricter match (I avoid false positives at the cost of sometimes missing legitimate matches due to local differences in release year).
