Release plugin.video.themoviedb.helper - Access to TheMovieDb API for Skinners

it starts like this

and after refreshing the info from the context menu the other parts of will appear (MPAA rating, movie length, other info)

Is it possible to make the addon load all the info at first without having to refresh the items one by one?

The details lookup requires a separate API request for EACH item in the list, whereas the base list only requires one request. For performance reasons the extra details are only added if they've already been cached - imagine how much longer it would take the list to load if it needed to do 20 requests rather than only 1 just for the base list.

When you refresh the cache for the item, you are essentially telling the plugin to retrieve the detailed item - hence why the list now shows extra details.

To get around this limitation, the plugin also provides a service monitor which does the details lookup for the focused item in real time. However, it is up to the skin to implement support for the service monitor.
