You need to use the search function
plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper?info=search&type=movie&query=$INFO[Skin.String(TMDBSearchString)]

Ah... sorry. I missed this on wiki. Thanks.
 

You can't currently search mixed type in the plugin. However, I just had a look at the API docs and API does appear to support mixed search, so I might be able to implement it. The big problem from the Kodi side of things is that I can't set a "mixed" content type and the info that gets set is dependent on what the content/dbtype is - there's ways around it, it's just that it needs to be dealt with separately as my base code has been written with the assumption that lists only have one type of content (i.e. the type set in the plugin:// url)

If it's too much hassle then forget it. After all, it's the MOVIE db not the TV db.
 

The 20 item limit is hardcoded into TMDb API.

This is a big downside. What about scrolling through pages like mentioned in that thread?
Is that possible?

I wish it was possible to achieve that infinite scroll but it would really need to be something added to the actual skinning engine to work properly.

Once the plugin provides content it stops being active so it can't do anything else as it no longer exists. Also you can't really modify containers after they are created (if that was possible I'd just have the service monitor directly edit the listitem info labels rather than use window properties).

I think the only way it could be done would be in a scripted window.
