image wouldnt work as they load earlier i think..

But, I could have my service checking the current position

print(xbmc.getInfoLabel('Container.FolderPath'))    # plugin://plugin.video.nz.freeview/?_=live_tv
print(xbmc.getInfoLabel('Container().NumItems'))  # 29
print(xbmc.getInfoLabel('Container().CurrentItem'))   # 7

So, if the CurrentItem gets greater than 80% of NumItems, it could load more I guess.

The addon would tell the service what Path it's active for and what callback to call once it hits the number.

Last bit is adding the new items to the current list (if possible)
Unless I "fake it".
Cache the current items, then fetch new ones and just recreate the list and make sure to select the previous position...

Have tried and works pretty well.
Except can't work out a good reliable way to select the position on the list after it loads again.

UPDATE:
Kodi will automatically select the previous listitem (based on it's PATH) if the plugins path is the same as previously.
So, it is possible and here is a quick demo:

Question, on Paramount plus in a Poster view I'm getting a lot of the placeholder generic paramount plus logo posters instead of the poster for the movie/show.

Is this a limitation of Paramount+ or a bug?

The LazyLoad looks great btw!

***Follow up, could be a bug.

For a specific movie:

Top Gun Maverick doesn't show a poster.

The thumb object is:

javascript:


[{'height': 1080, 'width': 1920, 'assetType': 'Thumbnail', 'url': 'https://thumbnails.cbsig.net/CBS_Production_Entertainment_VMS/2022/10/26/2091444291941/TGMAV_SAlone_16_9_1920x1080_1781067_1920x1080.jpg'}]

It has no key object PosterArt.

If I go to paramountplus.com the Poster url is:

hi @matthuisman 

There is an issue with "The Man Who Fell to Earth". Episode 2 and 4 and are capped at 1080p. 

EDIT: Using the Nvidia Shield 2019.

I have experienced this with some movies too. For example "War of the Worlds (2005)" and "Top Gun: Maverick" to name a couple.

Is this known or do you need a log?

Otherwise app working great. Highly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi @matthuisman,

I would have a request: is it possible to implement "adding external audio" while watching a movie/TV series in P+? It already exists for normal video library, (see here where it is already mentioned: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360736) unfortunately this option was never implemented in add-ons. As for subtitles, in the Audio Settings section of a movie/series add "Add Audio" ---> either from external link or file.

That would really be the breakthrough for add-ons. It would be great to implement this feature for Disney+ too.

Cheers.

If anyone is experiencing specific content not playing, you can report it here.

I have more a buffering issue- on my 2019 Nvidia Shield I find the addon to be too slow to be useful, 4k content is pretty much impossible to play. I have a gigabit wired connection so that shouldn’t be the issue.

addon works perfectly for me playing 4k dolby vision at ~20Mbps video

provide your Debug Log so the developer can see what is going on for you

I don't know how to debug plugin code. Tell me if I can give you more information

Hi, this add on had been working well for me but as of today I'm suddenly unable to play any content and I get an error message: "Widevine license request failed." I tried updating Widevine with no luck. This is a link to my debug log. It's a great add on, definitely appreciate any assistance.
