I use this code to improve the header in home for skin AZ-R when an playlist is used for main menu :
(https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...d/pull/451)
xml:plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getpathstats&path=$INFO[Container(300).ListItem.Property(path)]&prefix=test
all works very well
I have just a tiny problem. I don't know how distinguish a "videos" playlist from a "musicvideos" playlist.
So I can't displayed the correct label "music videos" for a "musicvideos" playlist.
xml:Window(Home).Property(test_MusicVideosCount)
does not exist
all advice is welcome.
thanks

Thanks again for this wonderful script. I have noticed a small issue when using Get resource image by string. I use it to show several images of the studios and it works very well other than the studio ends in + as in these cases...
As you can see Disney+ and Apple TV+ labels are shown because the script doesn't return any value. The line I'm using is:
xml:<content>plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getresourceimages&addon=resource.images.studios.coloured&separator='" / "'&string='$ESCINFO[ListItem.Studio]'</content>
However the images do exist, as you can see in this other view...
This view uses:
xml:$INFO[ListItem.Studio,resource://resource.images.studios.coloured/,.png]
Thanks for your help!

In AZR skin we can display list of similar movies from "DialogVideoInfo.xml"
This can be do with "local information only" or not.
1 - if "local information only" is disable:
xml:plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper?info=similar&type=movie&query=$INFO[ListItem.Label]
2 - if "local information only" is enable:
xml:plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getsimilar&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&type=movie
In these 2 situations it works well
The only things that seems not working it is when I use "ListItem.Overlay" on item displayed.
with command 1 (plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper...) ListItem.Overlay exist for each item that is present on local
All works like expected
with command 2 (plugin://script.embuary.helper...) ListItem.Overlay is empty for each item
Sorry if it is a dumb question.
Is it possible that is related to "script.embuary.helper" ?
Thanks

@Nanomani
I cannot remember why, but try ListItem.Playcount instead of ListItem.Overlay.

Yes you are right. "ListItem.Playcount" is filled
thanks a lot

Is there a way to combine next up with continue watching? I would like one widget that contains both. I don't see this as a widget option.
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - realcopacetic - 2022-06-08
Hi @sualfred, thanks for all your work on this and your Embuary skin.
I'm using the helper to perform a calculation to work out the watched progress of TV shows and seasons:
xml:
RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=calc,do='"($INFO[ListItem.Property(WatchedEpisodes)] / $INFO[ListItem.Property(TotalEpisodes)]) * 100"',prop=WatchedPercentage)
I run this code in a button within my focusedlayouts. But it seems quite variable how long the calculation takes to come back. On a powerful PC, it's fine, but on something like a Shield, I notice a lag of up to a few seconds before the calculation is completed, usually when something like a library update is taking place.
Does this sound like expected behaviour or is it an issue in my test setup do you think?
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - realcopacetic - 2022-07-05
hi @sualfred - are you planning to port this skin helper to Nexus at some point in the future? I understand this may be way off, but just had a question for if/when you do.
If so, would you be open to adding support for the new ListItem.Property(watchedepisodepercent)? I noticed that it is blank currently for listitems populated by your script and it was implied here that support for it would need to be added to the script for it to work: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/21631
Here's an example below showing how the new listitem is blank even though the two properties it is calculated with are present:
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - roidy - 2022-07-05
@"QuizKid" Please grab the latest Matrix branch of script.embuary.helper and test.
I've added the 'watchedepisodepercent' property. I'm calculating it from the total and watched episode counts directly so it doesn't rely on the new Nexus 'watchedepisodepercent' property and thus will also work in Matrix.
Let me know if it works OK and I'll push out a new release.
