I am trying to open the WINDOW_DIALOG_VIDEO_INFO dialog for an existing movie after click on an item in a list.  Basically the same behavior as the built-in search when clicking on an Actor or Director and then on a search result.

It seems like something like this won't work...

python:
ActivateWindow(12003,"videodb://movies/4131/",return)

...because this window only seems to open for the currently selected list item, and the secondary parameter seems to be ignored.

I found an older post https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...ight=12003 where @ronie pointed someone to xbmcgui.Dialog().info(listitem).

But I'm still having trouble using that to open DialogVideoInfo.xml for a specified movie.

Something like...

python:
li = cntrl.getSelectedItem()

label = li.getLabel()

dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog(li.setInfo("video",{"title":label}))

dialog.info(li)

...will create a new instance (that happens to be populated with my target movie's title).  But is there any way to just open the dialogue for a specified movie?

Documents below... ".... a specified movie" depends on the listitem you are passing and how your code functions. ie if you want a specific movie pass its listitem.
