SVN, Win7/64 V1.0.3 of GS) and only typing the word 'Super' bring some results... but no Super 8. Typing in 'Super 8' does bring it up. The same search in the traditional function finds it along with a few other 'Super'.

Wild carding allowed?

yeah, should work fine.
tested it on my end and it finds super 8 without any problem.

could you get me a Debug Log, using this version?

uhhh...you do realize you can scroll to the right in the movielist to see the rest of the results, right?
it found 19 movies containing 'super' and super 8 is one of them.

No I didn't see that.... wasn't too clear, thought it would just fill the page.

This script/addon is absolutely brilliant. I have been looking for this functionality in XBMC for ages. I've installed it as a FAVOURITE to the homescreen of my Nox setup and it's like it was always meant to be! So thank you for this!

I have just one question though... could it be made possible that you don't have to wait until the entire search has finished before you are able to select what you want?

Quite often, when I search for a movie for example, it is found very very quickly, and then you are waiting for it to search the rest of the music library (30,000 ish songs).

Just a thought, and sorry if someone already suggested this. I love it though, really useful.

yup, that's possible. i'll change that.
it may not work 100%, as i think xbmc will still lock the gui occasionally when the script is running.

Hey there,

I was wondering, is this addon only for Pre-Eden xbmc builds? I have a Dharma 10.1 build from March 2011 and it searches, but finds no results.

cheers.

hmm... and i'm wondering if you bothered to read the first post? ;-p

Ronie, would it be possible to retrieve the season thumb for the episode search results?

My bad, I had a mate over and I was distracted.

* ronie wonders what's up with everyone's sudden obsession with season thumbs :-)

possible, yes... it will add some overhead though.
the script will have to make an additional json request for each season thumb.

They look much better than episode thumbs, have the right aspect ratio and pair nicely with your watchlist script.

Besides it looking better it's also about recognizing items visually, which in the case of search functionality is an important aspect imo.

If I have a list of episode thumbs listed they don't provide me all that much information visually, I'll have to specifically look at the text to get to know anything about it.

If I have a list of season thumbs I will, in most cases, be able to directly tell which tv show it belongs to. And in many cases it will also tell me visually which season the episode is from. A still picture of some scene from some show doesn't tell me much if anything really.
Of course the labels will tell me the most, but I'm a very visually oriented person, I'd like to get as much information from just a glance.

Hope that makes sense Confused

Worth a shot to see how big the performance impact will be?

Hi!

First to say - great job - thanks for this great plugin!

Is it possible to include also a search for actors (movies, tvshows)?

it's one of the things on my to-do list.
one day i hope to add some advanced features like searching by genre, year, director or whatever...
