The DirectCallAuto method is incompatible with this add_path hack. That method will ONLY work with TMDbHelper paths and nothing else because it needs to pull the TMDb ID to retrieve the online information and construct a ListItem to pass directly to Kodi's Dialog API. There's no TMDb ID in a library path so there's nothing to make.

The reason the add_path hack works with the old method is because the old method has a list container it can add the path to rather than directly constructing a listitem.

If you look at the example window for the old method, you'll see it is basically just a list with a window property for the content path. For the most part, all the script is doing is dropping the new path into the window property, waiting for the list to load the new content, and then simulating pressing Action(Info) on the first item. It then runs a small background loop to monitor for the dialog/window closing to backtrack in the history or for new paths being added.

Going back to the old method got it working.
I feel like a potato Eek I should have tried that but assumed DirectCallAuto was the same thing... Sad

Thank you! Smile
