plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getnextup

How can I sort the returned list of episodes so the most recently viewed tv show's next episode is at the start of the list?

Is it even possible? At the moment the order seems to be random. Thanks

Problem fixed..... Don't know why but a reinstall of Kodi fixed the issue.

I want to open an episode info window using the videodb:// path for the episode in a custom search dialog, but there is no ListItem info label for the tv show dbid, so I cannot build the full path videodb://tvshows/titles/<tv show dbid>/<season>/<episode dbid>?season=<season>&tvshowid=<tv show dbid>.  I have the season and the episode dbid, but not the tv show dbid.  Thanks for considering my request.

@sualfred , did you have a chance to look at whether you would consider adding this to the script? I know that it is no longer necessary with Matrix, but I will not be upgrading to Matrix any time soon, and the majority of my users are still on Leia also.  Thanks for considering this request.

Regards,

Bart

Hi @sualfred..

Are there any plans to have Trakt lists as well available rather than tmdb only (i.e. trending, popular, similar, watched, trending list etc?)

Thanks

Just wanted to say that this script never ceases to amaze me, I keep using it more and more in the new version of my skin since it works great, thanks for sharing it with us!

This script has no audio widget stuff at all, because you can achieve nearly everything with xsp paths.

RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - realcopacetic - 2020-10-13

Hi @sualfred how are you?

I'm using your script in my Copacetic skin primarily for calculations, but I wanted to give the widgets a go for a bit of added functionality over what I managed to figure out with xsp paths... In this case, it's providing mixed content results in a widget for the actor currently selected in the videoinfo dialog cast list.

Apologies if this is basic, but I'm having an issue with errors as a result of unsupported characters, but I think I've escaped the string correctly. Not sure where I'm going wrong...

This is under Kodi 18.8 and Embuary helper version 1.4.8

RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-10-17

Does it happen on Matrix, too?

Let me quickly set up a matrix install and test.....

RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - roidy - 2020-10-17

@sualfred Just tested under Matrix and it works fine. Embuary helper version is listed as 2.0.6

RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-10-17
