Hi,
Changing the "Default select action" in "Video settings" to "Show Information" in iOS (both ATV2 and iPhone) is playing the media instead of showing information for me since I have been using Frodo. I have updated to Frodo 12.1 today and the same problem persists.
Is it a bug with iOS? I have tried searching for this issue in the forum but with no luck. Can anyone please confirm this?

Just tried and it works fine for me on my iPad running 12.1. Can you get us a
debug log (wiki) of when you select a video and it plays instead of showing info?

Can you bring up the information dialog from the context menu of one of those items?

Thats the problem. Your sources setup don't match your database i guess. You need to setup the source same as when you scraped it (same scraper, same folder recursion settings, same source path).
You could also try with the confluence skin for ruling out a skin issue.

I agree that this is a retarded requirement for movie information, but it is there for a reason - due to other retarded stuff :p
The reason it's there is because "Movie Information" is integrated with the scraping of a movie in the case that the file is not in the database. Thus, if the scraper can't be found, we don't allow movie information (or scanning etc.) If the movie was in the database, and no scraper was found, the user could "Refresh" which wouldn't achieve anything as no scraper is found.
A couple of potential improvements:
1. If the movie is in the database then show the info regardless of whether a scraper is available or not.
2. If the user then hits "Refresh" we can fail with an error (no scraper available, the <foo> scraper is not available/broken etc.).
3. Remove the check for scraper completely here, and if none is set prompt the user when they click on Movie Information instead.
Those that wish to investigate, see GetContextButtons() in the video windows - you'll see it does a GetScraperForPath() and uses that as a check for whether movie info should be brought up. That check needs to be moved into the OnInfo() stuff, and suitable prompting occur from there.
Cheers,
Jonathan
