I can backport this function if required.

Then i would stay several days in my computer room experimenting with it *gg*

i now tried for testing this code:
I see multiimage, but it's showing all in the resource addon, not only "genre.1" ... Something wrong with my syntax?
Code:
<control type="multiimage" id="98767">
<left>520</left>
<top>150</top>
<height>550</height>
<width>550</width>
<timeperimage>6000</timeperimage>
<randomize>false</randomize>
<fadetime>1000</fadetime>
<aspectratio aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.1).ListItem.Label,resource://resource.images.moviecountryicons.flags/,.png]</imagepath>
<visible>Container.Content(movies)</visible>
</control>I see multiimage, but it's showing all in the resource addon, not only "genre.1" ... Something wrong with my syntax?

Totally wrong usage.
Code:
<control type="list">
<itemlayout>
<control type="image">
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.Label,resource://resource.images.moviecountryicons.flags/,.png]</texture>
</control>
</itemlayout>
<focusedlayout>
<control type="image">
<texture>$INFO[ListItem.Label,resource://resource.images.moviecountryicons.flags/,.png]</texture>
</control>
</focusedlayout>
<content>
<item>
<label>$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.0)]</label>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(genre.0))</visible>
</item>
<item>
<label>$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.1)]</label>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(genre.1))</visible>
</item>
<item>
<label>$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.2)]</label>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(genre.2))</visible>
</item>
.....
....
</content>
</control>
2019-07-11, 09:32
Or use a common image control without a list container. Also possible in grouplists.
Code:
...
<control type="image">
<texture>$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.1),resource://resource.images.moviecountryicons.flags/,.png]</texture>
</control>
<control type="image">
<texture>$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.2),resource://resource.images.moviecountryicons.flags/,.png]</texture>
</control>
....

usage in dialog video info:
Code:
<onload>runscript(script.embuary.helper,action=split,property=genre,separator='" / "',value='$ESCINFO[ListItem.Genre]')</onload>
<onload>runscript(script.embuary.helper,action=split,property=studio,separator='" / "',value='$ESCINFO[ListItem.Studio]')</onload>
<onload>runscript(script.embuary.helper,action=split,property=country,separator='" / "',value='$ESCINFO[ListItem.Country]')</onload>
... and what ever floats your boat ...
Results in
Code:
$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.0)]
$INFO[Window(home).Property(genre.1)]
... etc etc ..
Great! Please, would it be possible anything like this for video views? If only for the focused item... Thanks!

Untested and should be expensive on slower systems. And you also can expect a slightly delay on refreshing of these values:
To activate add this to your home/startup xml:
After that you should get ( %i = 0,1,2,3,4,etc):
Edit:
Seems to work fine. Also backported it to Krypton on GitHub

@sualfred
Thank you very much, it works faultlessly! However, you were right when you said...
Sadly, I found that to be true, so I'm still unsure about how to use it, since that slowness was the reason I removed support for skin helper service in my skin.
However, I noticed that the cast option provided with...
plugin://script.embuary.helper?info=getcast&type=movie&
...doesn't seem to suffer from the same slowness, even though it seems to provide more complex data...
Thanks again!

Because it's called directly.
The service monitor is a ongoing endless loop with a sleep of 1s between. Each seond ListItem.Genre (for example) is grabbed and processed to multiple splitted strings in a window prop. So you have a mix of multiple delays:
- the monitor sleep, which is required (1s)
- the xbmc.getInfoLabel call (takes milliseconds)
- the splitting function (takes milliseconds)
- the setting of the window prop (takes milleseconds)
So you have a possible valid result after ~1, maximum 2, seconds.
Edit:
And nevertheless, the Python overhead

I've added something that possible can be used for a "skin hack". (https://github.com/sualfred/script.embua...1adba50b07)
Add a hidden list container with this path
And then use (example):
Should work fine for movies, tvshows, episodes, but not for seasons or any other item type.

I love "skins hacks"...
Thanks! It seems to work much better, at least with the same performance that the cast option...
However, a couple of times I got a error message, and not always with the same movie, I mean, a movie that works ok sometimes gives errors but sometimes not...
The log says...

ListItem.DBID + ListItem.DBType is empty. These items have to be available.
use a variable:
