hi @jurialmunkey - I'm having some problems using your awesome plugin to populate one of the widgets on my infoscreen. My aim for this particular widget is to use the studio of the listitem to display more shows from that studio. I'm not sure if this is an issue on my end, so I wanted to ask here if you or anyone else sees the correct information being returned in the following two scenarios:
This works and shows me 20 HBO shows from this page: https://www.themoviedb.org/network/49-hbo
However, if I try with AMC for example, I don't get any results. I chose AMC because it is another name with lots of shows and without without any potential formatting issues like spaces or + signs, as I thought at first maybe this was this issue. I would expect to see shows from this page: https://www.themoviedb.org/network/174
As a secondary question, with the HBO example, it works, but should my container sort method come into play or is this dictated by the plugin? I have it set to random, but I notice the shows on the first page always seem to be the same 20, just in a different order. If I set to something else such as name, the order stays consistent between restarts but not in alphabetical (e.g. first three shows are Euphoria, The Last Of Us, House of the Dragon)
Edit: Looking more at the data on TheMovieDB, I think maybe I'm mixing studios and networks. AMC doesn't have any results potentially because there are a bunch of companies with that name and in fact, the first one is AMC (ES) which only has one credit, a film. Which would explain why I don't see any results when filtering by TV shows. I think that's probably where I've gone wrong!
Edit2: And now I see your note about this in the Wiki. Apologies for the unnecessary question! https://github.com/jurialmunkey/plugin.v...ailed-Item
