@bsoriano -

If you close the videoinfo dialog, the script thinks that you are pressing back, which removes the current path and replaces it with the previous path (or nothing if its the first).
If you close window 1134 the script clears all properties and exits. Activating another window closes the current window.
Basically, you can't close 1134 or videoinfo if you would like to keep the script active.

What might work is if you change your search window to a dialog and just open it on top of the videoinfo dialog without closing videoinfo or 1134. i.e. Remove the Dialog.Close onclick and add the following to your search window:

Code:

<window type="dialog" id="1131">

RE: Repo.
I have a repo with TMDbHelper beta versions maintained by @drinfernoo
https://jurialmunkey.github.io/repositor...ey-1.2.zip

It is currently on 2.2.16 but it will get updated soon with the most recent version.
I'll be making a PR to official repo with the latest updates in the next week - just need to do a little bit more testing to make sure all the latest changes are stable.

@jurialmunkey , thanks! I will be trying this right away.  Understood about your repo; I will place a link to it in the Amber thread.

Regards,

Bart

EDIT: @jurialmunkey, thatnks again, this solved the navigation issue.  However, it brought other issues, like the fact that ListItem.xxxx now is the one from dialogvideoinfo.xml and not from the custom search window.  I solved that by replacing with Container.ListItem.xxxx.  What I have not solved is that now, if it is an online tmdb custom search, when you press i on any of the items, nothing happens, until I press Back or Esc, and then the info for that movie is shown.  Since the custom search is now a dialog and not a window, do I need to add a custom onclick to the results panel/list? Do I need to close the dialog for tmdb helper to properly open the info for the item?

A similar issue is happening if the custom search is local.  If I press Enter, the movie starts playing, but in the background.  I figure I can solve this like in the video info dialog Play/Close/Browse button.  However, if I press i, I do not get an info dialog for the item, until I press Back or Esc, and then it is shown.

Any ideas? Thanks again for your help.    

You will need to close your search dialog window first before any actions. To open info you will need to run the call_auto method after

Code:


<onclick>Dialog.Close(1131)</onclick>
<onclick>RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,add_path=$INFO[ListItem.FolderPath],call_auto=1134)</onclick>


You won't be able to do anything about <oninfo> - so you will need to make a decision about whether keeping the script active is more important.
 

By media flags, do you mean codec info? Because that's working fine for me for items in the library (as long as the option for kodi library info is enabled in TMDbHelper settings)

Yes, codec, resolution etc. Indeed, it's working with that setting enabled but i was looking for some more out-of-the-box solution. But then again if it's too much hassle... no problem. Leave it like it is

Anything that adds overhead which isn't absolutely necessary is disabled by default in the script. I leave it up to users to decide what options they need. Having anything that decreases performance disabled by default makes it clear that there is a trade off between additional features and performance.    

@jurialmunkey, thanks! I figured that I would have to rely on calling add_path, like in the lists in video info. Thanks for confirming. Keeping the script active is more important, since that means I don't have any navigation issues like I do now. The behavior of the search dialog will be consistent with the video info dialog.

EDIT: @jurialmunkey , this is working very well, thanks again.  One additional question, how do I get the xsp path for a single episode so I can do an add_path call? In the onclick for my search dialog I got the xsp path for a movie and for a tv show (your code from Arctic Zephyr 2), but I don't know how to go about building a path to a specific episode.

What I have at the moment is this for the onclick:

xml:


<onclick>Dialog.Close(1131)</onclick>

                        <onclick condition="String.IsEmpty(Container.ListItem.DBID) | [!String.IsEqual(Container.ListItem.DBType,movie) + !String.IsEqual(Container.ListItem.DBType,tvshow) + !String.IsEqual(Container.ListItem.DBType,episode)]">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,add_path=$INFO[Container.ListItem.FolderPath],call_auto=1134)</onclick>

                        <onclick condition="!String.IsEmpty(Container.ListItem.DBID) + String.IsEqual(Container.ListItem.DBType,movie)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,add_path=$INFO[Container.ListItem.Label,videodb://movies/titles/?xsp=%7B%22order%22%3A%7B%22direction%22%3A%22ascending%22%2C%22ignorefolders%22%3A0%2C%22method%22%3A%22sorttitle%22%7D%2C%22rules%22%3A%7B%22and%22%3A%5B%7B%22field%22%3A%22title%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22is%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22,%22%5D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22type%22%3A%22movies%22%7D],call_auto=1134)</onclick>

                        <onclick condition="!String.IsEmpty(Container.ListItem.DBID) + String.IsEqual(Container.ListItem.DBType,tvshow)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,add_path=$INFO[Container.ListItem.Label,videodb://tvshows/titles/?xsp=%7B%22order%22%3A%7B%22direction%22%3A%22ascending%22%2C%22ignorefolders%22%3A0%2C%22method%22%3A%22sorttitle%22%7D%2C%22rules%22%3A%7B%22and%22%3A%5B%7B%22field%22%3A%22title%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22is%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22,%22%5D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22type%22%3A%22tvshows%22%7D],call_auto=1134)</onclick>

                        

I realized that the path I had before would not work.  My issue is that when I present a list of episodes that an actor is in (the list source is also a dynamic videodb path), I do not have the DBID of the TV Show, which I could use to pass a videodb://tvshows/titles/<tv show dbid>/<season>/<episode dbid>?season=<season>&tvshowid=<tv show dbid> path to the add_path call.  The episode list items already have their dbid and season number.  Perhaps you could add the tvshow dbid to the service monitor if the item is an episode that is in the library?

Thanks again for all of your help.
