Just add a label control with <label>$INFO[ListItem.SortLetter]</label> and place it in the front of the list container. It always returns the current active one.

Is there a possibility in the future with your script to retreive "FileNameAndPath", when there is only DBID?
RE: script.embuary.helper - a (maybe) skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2019-07-29
With the getbydbid method you will receive everything what is available. It basically just queries the database with the provided DBID and DBType and returns everything that is available. Incl. FilenameAndPath, ListItem.AudioLanguage(%i), etc.

Not really. At least not in my testings. It's just one item that is going to be fetched.

I really like the implementation concept. Now a service module that sets the ratings in database separately will compliment nicely. (not a request just sharing thoughts on future replacement for SH)

Universal Movie Scraper does TMDB, IMDB, MetaCritic, and Rotten Tomatoes.

But to prevent mistakes: I only return what the scraper has added to the database.Really nice! Cause it's a bypass, have you tested how much the visible delay in views is? 0,5 - 1,0 sec or more?

Ratings and Votes for tomatometerallcritics is working well up to now.
Unfortunately Ratings and Votes for tomatometerallaudience i get since 4th June 2019 in 90% of cases no more data anymore. -> https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129134&pid=2860531#pid2860531
It worked 100% well before. Both Rotten Tomatoes data is from OMDB. OMDB maintainer didn't responed to my E-Mails as i demanded. Although I am a patron.

RE: script.embuary.helper - a (maybe) skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2019-07-30
In my video from a above there is a delay of ~200ms.

Big thanks for @jurialmunkey
His recently work on the plugin tmdb data approach made me finally starting to work on something what was on my list since a few months.
Since Phil is missing in action and ExtendedInfo is unmaintained and in a very bad shape:
Embuary Helper will get its rich actor and video info feature. The basics, the queries, the window custructor etc. is already working. Now I only have to deal with all properties and their stored information.
Current WIP stage:

But before I make wrong promises:
It will be only a lightweight version. Only the regular actor and video info screen. No unnecessary informations like what an actor is wearing at night etc. For all other stuff Jurial's plugin will be the way to go.
