replace kodi info with thenewdiamond info

[hcgiub001]

not sure if it's possible but I'm using FENtastic and would love to replace kodi info with thenewdiamond. is their a command I can attach to a key? thanks love the addon by the way, and I'm glad you allow us to choose which recommend to use. I was the guy who asked you like a few years back to get IMDB recommended, thanks!

also if I choose IMDB , it still says reccommended by TMDB, it's no big issue but thought I'll mention it

[henryjfry]

Im pretty sure it is technically possible but its not easy and Im not much of a skinner and dont actually use that skin.

There are skins that do use extendedinfo, which is why there are two versions of the addon so you can use extendedinfo/diamondinfo side by side if you like the other extendedinfo versions floating around.

But im fairly certain fentastic would need extensive modification to use a different info screen.

I just use the auto load on startup setting in extendedinfo and just use the script screens as my skin for everything, no messing around with widgets or view settings and it only reloads screens when they actually reload.

Re: the tmdb/imdb recommendations. Again thats a skin/xml thing and i could change it but like you say its totally cosmetic. The actual recommendations are working fine. Imdb occasionally breaks them but for now they work.

Although i did just add a function to access the info screen for the currently playing item? So you could load that from the keymap:

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info)

awesome! so this loads the diamondinfor instead of pressing context menu and finding the Diamond_info ? I'll wait for update and report

Yeah itll load the info screen for the currently playing item. I could potentially get it to work for the currently selected item, is that what you need too?

yes sorry I'd like currently selected item, then we don't need to rely on a skin to load your addon. we just change keymap

[hcgiub001]

I can't find the code you said I'm on this path C:\Users\ouokh\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.extendedinfo\resources\lib

[henryjfry]

I may not have actually pushed any of this to my repo.

Should be available on v8.35 which ive just pushed now

[henryjfry]

Ok so v8.35 currently selected item or playing video info screen:

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info)

[hcgiub001]

I just updated to version 8.35 I mapped this to my i key RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info)

then when I'm in Fenlight and this movie is highlighted and I press i nothing happens

[henryjfry]

I need to see the log

[hcgiub001]

https://paste.kodi.tv/omokahexab

I tried loading two movies, this time I had spinning dialog animation but nothing happened so I pressed back after 10 seconds

[henryjfry]

Ok i cant actually see in the logs where its doing anythiong because you ahve turned the full debug log on.

V8.35 has a print statement which should indicate if fen is providing enough information for this to work

[henryjfry]

Kodi helpfully makes accessing informaiton from list items more difficult that it needs to be. And this relies upon "ListItem.IMDBNumber" being populated

[henryjfry]

But ive tested it in fenlight and it does work

[hcgiub001]

https://paste.kodi.tv/gisenoxazu

I'm not sure how to do the log, this is what my settings for log is

I tried in fenlight and in umbrella and it didn't work

[hcgiub001]

I just tried in TheMovieDb Helper and it's the same

[henryjfry]

Well i cant see whats actually going on. Disable debug logging. Reboot.

Do the thing. Manually copy and paste your logs/drag and drop onto a github message.

Dont use the log uploader.

[henryjfry]

I think the logs are too long as I can only see a "starting" message for extended info and cant actually see where you are doing the click

[henryjfry]

In fenlight you should see:

kodi-send --action="RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info)"

[henryjfry]

So im not convinved you are actually triggering this plugin call and I think your logs are erroring here:

No add the log file as an attachment. Find the log file in windows, drag and drop.

C:\Users\ouokh\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\temp\kodi.log

or

[hcgiub001]

kodi.log

[hcgiub001]

sorry is that better?

[henryjfry]

Better but its not actually doing anything. Can you check that the keymap is actually setup correctly?

Like set it to load the favourites and make sure the key is actually enabled? Because your logs give no indication its trying to do anything

The other logs had weird "script.fentastic.helper\resources\lib\modules\custom_actions.py" errors.

[hcgiub001]

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info) RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.fenlight/?mode=custom_key.more_like_this) Delete RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info) Playlist ToggleWatched ActivateWindow(Home)

I just mapped another key (right) to trigger it. when I click on right it just does spinning dialogue

[hcgiub001]

now I set the i key to this

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=context_info) RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.fenlight/?mode=custom_key.more_like_this) Delete Info Playlist ToggleWatched ActivateWindow(Home)

and information loaded up as expected

[henryjfry]

For "right" what do your logs show

You might need to do a RunPlugin rather than RunScript. eg:

RunPlugin(plugin://script.extendedinfo/?info=context_info)

[henryjfry]

Check your logs:

2024-08-03 09:12:52.878 T:21068 info : CAddonMgr::ADDON::CAddonMgr::FindAddons: script.extendedinfo v8.33 installed

[henryjfry]

Did you actually update the addon, because you will struggle to load code which I ahvent written yet

And it makes sense why the busy spinner was coming up and nothing happening becasuse you never updated

[hcgiub001]

can't apologise enough, I waited for the update, then I downloaded your repo and opened it in zip file. It updated dimond repo but for extra diamon repo it showed 8.35 but I had to click it to update it and I didn't thinking it was updated. so sorry for wasting your time. but it works awesomely. I don't get why no one has ever asked this before? now I can just use i to load your information.

you could have a setting in your addon that says do you want to use this when you press information and then create a xml to place inside keymaps folder, thats what fentastic does to have the trailers activate when we press t and has gen.xml in keymaps with this

`

RunScript(script.fentastic.helper, mode=play_trailer) RunScript(script.fentastic.helper, mode=play_trailer)

`

again sorry for this bother, it's awesome now
