I've noticed this issue for ages with Kodi/XBMC and I'm not sure if it's fixable or not or if it's supposed to behave this way.

I have a few kodi tv boxes and I also have it on my phone and tablet. When I get the menu up for say a Movie or a TV programme and select Show Details or whatever it's called on the TV boxes, I get a dialog box come up with details about the movie or show.

When I do the exact same thing on the phone or tablet, that dialog never appears on the screen. Is this a feature where pop up windows are switched off for smaller screen devices?

Sounds the same as this problem I raised on Trac

It maybe the same. However, this has never worked for me on a touch screen device going all the way back to the original Android build.

The dialogs appear on a android device conencted via HDMI but not on a touch screen android device. If I select Movie Information on a tablet or phone, no dialog appears.

I should mention this on Confluence skin. I've not tried with other skins

I tried this on iOS and Android touch devices using Confluence and Re-Touched, and the info dialog works.

Can you get us a debug log (wiki) of when this happens for you?

Yep, same for me on a x86 tablet. Not sure I understand the issue...

[Dougal1709]

Actually, my apologies. It is the show information dialog on an unauthorised add in that isn't popping up. The one for films physically on the device are ok.

Then might indeed be the same issue as @spoyser.
spoyser, I could not immediately find the sources of your super-favourites addon. Are they available, e.g., on github?

Latest SF (1.0.39) can be found here:

https://github.com/spoyser/spoyser-repo/...favourites

The lastest official version (1.0.35 the same as the one in the official repo) as a zip:
https://github.com/spoyser/spoyser-repo/...1.0.35.zip

If you have a look in default.py you will find this method:

Code:

getMovieMenu

Which adds to the context menu via this call:

Code:

menu.append((GETTEXT(30090), 'Action(Info)'))

I'm guessing that this menu item no longer triggers the action correctly somewhere in Kodi's context menu handling.
