[question] button artwork select and refresh in season/episode level

[matke-84]

Hi Jurial. Just one short question. Is there a possibility to put these two buttons in the season/episode dialog info level? I am currently using this and it works in tv shows and movies in dialog info.

<onclick condition="$EXP[IsTvShowDBType] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper)">Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],tmdb_type=tv)</onclick>
<onclick condition="$EXP[IsMovieDBType] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper)">Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],tmdb_type=movie)</onclick>

<onclick condition="$EXP[IsTvShowDBType] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper)">Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,refresh_details,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],tmdb_type=tv)</onclick>
<onclick condition="$EXP[IsMovieDBType] + System.HasAddon(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper)">Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,refresh_details,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],tmdb_type=movie)</onclick>

@jurialmunkey Sorry Jurial. Is this possible? I have tried various ways to get to these buttons in episode dialog info but I have not succeeded. Thanks in advance.

You need season and episode params

[matke-84]

Doesn't matter. Forget.

[matke-84]

Sorry, but I have to ask one more question. I am using this code and it works, but I want to define more detailed info about the episode and I try to set a condition $INFO[ListItem.Year] but it doesn't work. How to define the tv show year. <onclick>Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,query=$INFO[ListItem.TvShowTitle],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],type=episode,episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])</onclick>

[matke-84]

I found this on the kodi forum, however, it doesn't return tv show it should by year, returns the last known one. <onclick>Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,query=$INFO[ListItem.TvShowTitle],episode_year=$INFO[ListItem.Year],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],type=episode,episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])</onclick>

[jurialmunkey]

year= is a strict match. For year you must have the exact premiere year of the show. TMDbHelper will use first search result for the query where searchresult_title==query and searchresult_year==year.

episode_year= is a fuzzy match because episode years might be later than tvshow premiere year. The episode_year matches first search result where searchresult_title=query and searchresult_year<=episode_year. It isn't always perfect because of this reason.

If you have ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb) you should combine it with query. There's no problem with mixing params - TMDbH will use the best info available.

For example tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],query=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle] is acceptable. If ID is available it will be used, otherwise TMDbH will fall back to a query search.

[jurialmunkey]

Also, type should only ever be tv or movie. TMDbH determines if something is a season or episode because there is a season/episode number supplied.

[matke-84]

Wait now I'm confused. My problem is that the button doesn't work for me in the info dialog of the episode. The button works perfectly in parent tv show info dialog. I tried with this combination but it doesn't work in the info dialog of the episode. Ok, I also put type=tv but still not working.

Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,type=tv,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],query=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])

[matke-84]

I think this will work. tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)] definitely can't go for seasons and episodes. <onclick>Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,type=tv,query=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle],year=$INFO[ListItem.Year],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])</onclick>

[jurialmunkey]

tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)] definitely can't go for seasons and episodes.

Why not? TMDb only has IDs for tv or movies. If the item has TMDb ID then it will be for tvshow.

Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,type=tv,query=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle],year=$INFO[ListItem.Year],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])

This will only work for Season 1 episodes. In Season 2 the year will be wrong.

[matke-84]

I do not know what's going on. It doesn't want to load the window for me. It just starts loading and that's it. Look at the code to see if I typed it correctly. Is that okay. Runscript(plugin.video.themoviedb.helper,select_artwork,type=tv,tmdb_id=$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tmdb)],query=$INFO[ListItem.TVShowTitle],season=$INFO[ListItem.Season],episode=$INFO[ListItem.Episode])

[jurialmunkey]

It looks right. What item are you trying it on?

Is this from something in the library? I just realised the default tv scraper dumps episodes IDs into that field eventhough they aren't useful because you cant search by episode ID on the API.

[matke-84]

It's not. This is straight from the tmdb helper.

[jurialmunkey]

Oh use tvshow.tmdb in that case

$INFO[ListItem.UniqueID(tvshow.tmdb)]

[matke-84]

Finally. Thanks.

[jurialmunkey]

Yeah sorry I got things mixed up. It is seasons where (tmdb) is the same as (tvshow.tmdb) -- episodes have their own ID it just isn't very useful as you cant search it in the API so needs to use (tvshow.tmdb) at episode level.
