hi, 

I am trying to force a specific page within a plugin to be in list format, but only this page, 
how do i go about this ? i understand the author wants some standard for plugins before he wants to actively support. 

i have tried adding the following in the function:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(50)')

using kodi 18.5 and latest pellucid v

would appreciate any help that can point me to the right direction.

The view mode is set by the content of the container. I don't know enough about the way addons work, but if you set the content of the container to 'files', it should render as a list.

Thanks Alot!, we spent several weeks trying to figure this out, much appreciate your support on your skin!.

Nero12: Don't change the skin. Those viewing conditions are very fragile - you'll tie yourself in knots and I won't be able to help.

Rather, set the content in the addon's code.
