Thanks to @Hitcher for the solution

Original Post:

Apologies @sualfred in advance for the stupid question, I'm still fairly new to skinning and certainly to using scripts. 

I'd like to use the Calc function of your Embuary Helper to pass a value for tvshows or seasons of ((watched episodes / total episodes) * 100) to get a watched percentage I can use for an image control width.

I've only been able to get this working on a manual left/right click in my vertical list with the following syntax.

xml:


<onleft condition="System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper) + [container.content(tvshows) | container.content(seasons)]">RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=calc,do='"($INFO[ListItem.Property(WatchedEpisodes)] / $INFO[ListItem.Property(TotalEpisodes)]) * 100"',prop=MyResult)</onleft>

<onright condition="System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper) + [container.content(tvshows) | container.content(seasons)]">RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=calc,do='"($INFO[ListItem.Property(WatchedEpisodes)] / $INFO[ListItem.Property(TotalEpisodes)]) * 100"',prop=MyResult)</onright>

But I don't know where to put this RunScript for it to automatically trigger each time the contents of my container is refreshed.

Also you need to install libwebpmux2 which doesn't exist in Buster repo. I didn't realize it until I had autoremoved some packages that it was required by python-pil. 

Downgrading python-pil did not do it for me, I got an error that embuary helper script was not designed for this version of Pil. Upgrading it again to the latest version brough the array error message back.
Currently running Emmbuary Helper Script version 1.3.2. 

I forgot to mention that you need to use version 1.2.28 from the Kodi repo.

I forgot to mention that you need to use version 1.2.28 from the Kodi repo. 

Or at least that's what I'm using and it works. I don't remember all the things I tested anymore when I was trying to get things work.

I would like to replace skin helper service with embuary helper for below code. How do I do it?THis is calling a selection dialogue:

Code:

<onload>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=setskinsetting,setting=PopupPosition,header=$LOCALIZE[40392])</onload>

[sualfred]

This feature is not available in my script.

@sualfred Maybe you'll remember making a deeper and nicer implementation of 2 KyraDB Project possible with some really handy codes from your Embuary Helper Script.
-> Make possible to read out single entries of combined InfoLabels and showing for example it as a sideshow multiimage with label matching.

I just want to ask a question, but cause i follow your and @jurialmunkey 's project very carefully the i see the questions is already formulated very well:
Link: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2919219

It's not cause of the "showing" speed, i know it is bypassed so it can't even be as fast as normal artwork stuff. Last content is visible until it gets new content + a delay (it depends on the machine 1-3 seconds)
Behave now: scolling to a movie -> open dialogvideoinfo -> 1-3 seconds the (multi)-image gets loaded -> go out from dialogvideoinfo, scroll to a new one, open dialogvideoinfo -> last image is showing 1-3 seconds until new matching content gets loaded.

Is there a possibility to unload the images? I mean to not show the previous ones? Change the behave...
I hope you know what i mean, we're both german bot my english is really not the yellow of the egg.

Much appreciate your project

Hi @sualfred have ever tried the Matrix version of your script on your Shield? It errors out for me on Android while it's working fine on Windows.

Hi @sualfred have ever tried the Matrix version of your script on your Shield? It errors out for me on Android while it's working fine on Windows.

@puenktchen, it might be because, as far as I know, there is no PIL for Kodi 19 for Android.

Mmh, PIL seem to exist but a method or library that is called from PIL is missing in Python 3.7

PIL is currently broken on Android for Matrix.

Call (see guisettings.xml for reference):

Code:

RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=getkodisetting,setting=locale.country)

Returns:

Code:

Window(home).property(locale.country)

Example: "Australia (12h)"


Call with stripping the time format:

Code:

RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=getkodisetting,setting=locale.country,strip=timeformat)

Returns:

Code:

Window(home).property(locale.country)

Example: "Australia"

@sualfred ,

sorry dropped off of the side of the world for a little whiile there, brought a new house just before this covid business kicked off. Only just getting back to Kodi and skinning. Thank you for the above, for the most part it is working very well. Unfortunately have spotted a couple of little problems.

First issue is that the strip time format works great except for Spain, which returns España(blah). The España is fine, just that the brackets and text are not stripped off as they should be. My guess is because unlike most countries Spain does not seem to use AM/PM for morning and afternoon (sorry can't remember what was used, just that it was four characters long).

The second issue is I suspect a Kodi bug and nothing to do with your script but I thought I would run it past you to check. Changing location to Denmark results in nothing showing in the Region default format on the Regional settings page, and so your script returns nothing.

Other that those two issues the location is returning correctly and the Certification icons are working really well in my skin. Is much faster that previous method and I already support more certification icon types than any other skin, so a massive win on my part.

Thank you for your part in this.

@sualfred ,

Another issue that hopefully you can help with. Have moved my skin from using Skin helper service to your script and am trying to get rid of a couple of custom dialogs while I am about it. I use the following code in my VideoInfo dialog to provide a selection type list of additional user options.
 

Code:

<control type="button" id="1115">
    <!-- More options button -->
    <include>info-options-common</include>
    <label>$LOCALIZE[31693]</label>
    <texturefocus>button-info-more-focus.png</texturefocus>
    <texturenofocus>button-info-more.png</texturenofocus>
    <onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.Label,$LOCALIZE[31680])</onclick>
    <onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.BuiltIn,SendClick(movieinformation,10))</onclick>
    <onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.Label,$LOCALIZE[38023])</onclick>
    <onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.BuiltIn,SendClick(movieinformation,7))</onclick>
    <onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.3.Label,$ADDON[script.artwork.beef 32411])</onclick>
    <onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.artwork.beef) + $EXP[isnotEmptyDBID]">SetProperty(Dialog.3.BuiltIn,RunScript(script.artwork.beef, mode=gui,mediatype=$INFO[ListItem.DBTYPE],DBID=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]))</onclick>
    <onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.metadata.editor) + $EXP[isnotEmptyDBID]">SetProperty(Dialog.4.Label,$LOCALIZE[31689])</onclick>
    <onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.metadata.editor) + $EXP[isnotEmptyDBID]">SetProperty(Dialog.4.BuiltIn,RunScript(script.metadata.editor,dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID],type=$INFO[ListItem.DBType]))</onclick>
    <onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.libraryeditor) + !System.HasAddon(script.metadata.editor) + $EXP[isnotEmptyDBID]">SetProperty(Dialog.5.Label,$LOCALIZE[31689])</onclick>
    <onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.libraryeditor) + !System.HasAddon(script.metadata.editor) + $EXP[isnotEmptyDBID]">SetProperty(Dialog.5.BuiltIn,RunScript(script.libraryeditor,DBID=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]))</onclick>
    <onclick>RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=createselect,header=$LOCALIZE[31693])</onclick>
</control>

I have tried to come up for a way to conditionally show items in the selection dialog that the above code brings up. I know that your script checks for an empty label to signal the end of the list of items so the dialog.x.builtin seems to be the better property to place the condition on, but that still shows the label for the entry. Is there a dialog.x. property to control the conditional display of a selection item without cutting off the rest of the selection options?
