[Release] GlobalSearch Script

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

* 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
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...

sure, as long as nobody bugs me for an ETA :-)

Just picked up the latest version 0.1.5 from the auto install and tried it out. At first it seems like it didn't work; I used the word 'Star' and got nothing.. but after playing around I tried the word 'Eight' and got some listings, but nothing else... I could exit the script. http://pastebin.com/7YpJW8BA

I reverted to 0.1.4 using the keyword 'Star' brought Movie 52 entries, 5 TV shows and 5 Episodes.

I exited and reverted back to 0.1.5 with the identical results 'nothing' for the word 'Star' and 3 for the word 'Eight' still searching.

thanx, the script crashes a few times.
i'll look into it and fix asap :-)

please test v0.1.6 and let me know if there's any issues:

Love the 'play trailers' and 'find all episodes' 0.1.6 works for me.
