I'm running Kodi 18.9 and 19.3 and have a problem with displaying EXIF/IPTC data.
Using slideshow.xml, I have defined a control label in order to display category information from a picture. The value for IPTC:SupplementalCategories contains: Kat1*Kat2*Kat3
When I list the value in slideshow.xml by using the Kodi equivalent slideshow.SupplementalCategories, only the last variable (here: Kat3) will be displayed, not the entire list of values
The variable IPTC:SupplementalCategories is an array, same as IPTC:Keywords. Doing the same with IPTC:Keywords (which is slideshow.keywords in Kodi), I see all three values displayed.
Has anyone seen this behaviour, is it a known error ? The kodi logs do not show an error so it seems to be a works as design, but not a works as expected.
Here's my code (part of slideshow.xml)
<control type="label">
<description>Location</description>
<posx>39</posx>
<posy>34r</posy>
<width>400</width>
<height>18</height>
<scroll>true</scroll>
<align>left</align>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<font>font11</font>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
<scroll>true</scroll>
<label>$INFO[slideshow.SupplementalCategories] $INFO[slideshow.Keywords]</label>
</control>
