@jurialmunkey , I am running into an issue that I am not certain is a tmdb helper issue, but decided to ask here first.
When I press Info on a widget item in the home screen, and that widget item comes from a plugin which does not set correctly a folderpath or filenameandpath for the items, I am using the following code to play the item when the user clicks the Play button:
This works well in almost all cases. I tried to play episode 9 of season 1 of "Penny Dreadful City of Angels", which is named "Sing, Sing, Sing". This episode will not play, and I get the following in the log:
It looks like the filename is being cutoff at the first comma. This does not happen with other special characters in the name, as other episodes with & or ! in the filename will play correctly. I am using tmdb helper 3.1.3 and I tried in both Kodi 18.6 and 18.7, running under Windows 10.
Is this a tmdb helper issue? Could you please take a look? Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Bart

This works well in almost all cases. I tried to play episode 9 of season 1 of "Penny Dreadful City of Angels", which is named "Sing, Sing, Sing". This episode will not play, and I get the following in the log:
