I'm really not sure what I'm trying to do either
Here's the scenario: I'm using the Arctic Zephyr Reloaded (AZR) skin on a Kodi 19.4 build. I’m using AZR’s Modern Multi-Widgets Netflix home menu style. When I add a AZR widget and choose the action to be “TheMovieDb Helper – Upcoming”, for example, the widget displays the Upcoming movie content. Then, when I focus on an upcoming movie image, the background displays alternating art about that movie. If I keep the image focused, then the movie’s trailer will play assuming play trailers is active. It’s brilliant!
The quest: to duplicate the behavior described above for my own personal video library. And, possibly my VOD content. Sadly, I’ve not been able to accomplish this task. The closest I’ve come to replicating tmdbhr’s behavior, is to create a video playlist from my local library. When I focus on a playlist movie image, inside the AZR widget, I do not get alternating background art. But, if I keep the movie image focused, then the movie’s trailer will play. This is why I though being able to display my local library inside tmdbh might solve this issue. If I’m going about this all wrong, or if there’s a better way to implement what I’m trying to do, then please let me know! Thank you!
