Sorry for the late reply. Tapatalk is not refreshing my forum feeds for some reason, so I didn't even realise there were comments here! If you can't get me here, usually I'm pretty good at responding to issues posted on the github: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/plugin.v...per/issues

No problem, I just assumed you were on holiday or just taking a break from Kodi related stuff
 

For the episode year search with a query, use the "episode_year=" param instead -- e.g.

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?query=Beyond&episode_year=2018&tmdb_type=tv&info=cast&season=2&episode=2

The year param is a strict match (must match year), whereas episode_year param tells query to look for the most recent show with a first air date on or before the episode_year specified. I probably didn't document this function! I'm trying to be better with documentation these days so I'll update it now!

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
 

Hmm, this might be a tricky one. Is this just using the built-in button from the info dialog? Or do you use a specific browse command?

I don't think reopening the info dialog is possible after navigating in MyVideoNav (too hard to determine what the user is intending to do). However, there are a couple of options. The first is to create a custom dialog to act as a fake browsing window that sits on top of the video info dialog (which you hide with a conditional animation). It's pretty hacky but would allow for returning to the video info since you never close it.

The other option is what I do in Arctic Horizon, which is a custom browse button with the following onclick actions (I also display it when a movie is part of a set by checking ListItem.IsCollection so that the user can browse the set). The reason there's two sets of commands (one for MyVideoNav and one for elsewhere) is because if MyVideoNav is open I do a container update (call_update=) instead of activatewindow (call_path=)

xml:


<onclick condition="Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_update=$INFO[ListItem.FolderPath])</onclick>

<onclick condition="Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID) + String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_update=$INFO[ListItem.DBID,videodb://tvshows/titles/,/])</onclick>

<onclick condition="Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID) + ListItem.IsCollection">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_update=$INFO[ListItem.DBID,videodb://movies/sets/,/])</onclick>



<onclick condition="!Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_path=$INFO[ListItem.FolderPath])</onclick>

<onclick condition="!Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID) + String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_path=$INFO[ListItem.DBID,videodb://tvshows/titles/,/])</onclick>

<onclick condition="!Window.IsVisible(MyVideoNav.xml) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.DBID) + ListItem.IsCollection">RunScript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,close_dialog=1190,call_path=$INFO[ListItem.DBID,videodb://movies/sets/,/])</onclick>

Yep, after a couple of hours taking Arctic Horizon apart I found the custom Browse button method and code you posted, and while as you said it doesn't take you back to the info dialog it does fix the issue of being returned to the plugins root which is the main issue I wanted to fix.

Again thanks for the help

Quick update, just tried it and the episode_year param worked perfectly, thanks
