Are there any tricks/tips to populate multiple entries in a ListItem with details from the library?
I have a need to use a specific list of library (only) items to populate for a video plugin (I prefer not to use Playlist/node because they do not seem to fill in all of the details, like cast, etc, unless I missed another way to pull this off).
I want as much detail as possible filled in, so that the feel is as close to kodi built in list displays as possible, including resume points, etc.
Do I really need to call VideoLibrary.GetMovieDetails for each movie, collect the data and set listitem via VideoInfoTag ?
Is there no other way to get such a specified list of library entries displayed
Just need any kind of pointers, not really needing code.
Thanks!
