@jurialmunkey , I am using version 4.0.21, and have gotten some messages of tmdb helper error while in the video info dialog.  This is what I am seeing in the log:

Please let me know if you would like me to send you a full debug log.  Thanks.

This is due to a misconfigured plugin:// path in your skin. I stopped being permissive of plugin paths that are missing required params to make it easier to identify problems both in the plugin and in skins.

In this instance your path is missing the &type=movie|tv|person param.

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?info=discover&&with_genres=Adventure / Horror / Thriller&exclude_key=title&exclude_value=No Escape&nextpage=false

Looks like you intend it to be between the double && after the info=discover part but whatever variable you are using is returning empty.

What's your variable for the type param? I wonder if this issue is related to the problem in Kodi where nested skin variables (e.g. a variable inside a variable) will be empty if a modal dialog like context or select is open.

@jurialmunkey , I guess it could be that problem you mention, since my variable for the type param is the following:

xml:


<variable name="TMDbMediaType">

        <value condition="String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie) | ListItem.IsCollection">type=movie</value>

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(script-embuary-video.xml) + String.IsEqual(Container(10051).ListItem.DBType,movie)">type=movie</value>

        <value condition="String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,season) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,episode)">type=tv</value>

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(script-embuary-video.xml) + [String.IsEqual(Container(10051).ListItem.DBType,tvshow) | String.IsEqual(Container(10051).ListItem.DBType,season)]">type=tv</value>

    </variable>

And the variable for the discover call with genres is the following:

xml:


<variable name="VideoInfoFromGenre">

        <value condition="[String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)] + [!Skin.HasSetting(Disable.ExtendedInfo) | !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(tmdb_id))] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Genre)">plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper?info=discover&amp;$VAR[TMDbMediaType]&amp;with_genres=$INFO[ListItem.Genre]&amp;exclude_key=title&amp;exclude_value=$INFO[ListItem.Title]&amp;nextpage=false</value>

        <value condition="[String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)] + [!Skin.HasSetting(Disable.ExtendedInfo) | !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(tmdb_id))] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Genre) + !String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(TMDbHelper.ListItem.Genre))">plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper?info=discover&amp;$VAR[TMDbMediaType]&amp;with_genres=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(TMDbHelper.ListItem.Genre)]&amp;exclude_key=title&amp;exclude_value=$INFO[ListItem.Title]&amp;nextpage=false</value>

        <value condition="String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie)">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%22genre%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22contains%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22$INFO[ListItem.Genre]%22%5D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22type%22%3A%22movies%22%7D</value>

        <value condition="String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)">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%22genre%22%2C%22operator%22%3A%22contains%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22$INFO[Listitem.Genre]%22%5D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22type%22%3A%22tvshows%22%7D</value>

    </variable>

What would recommend to avoid this issue? Thanks for your help.
