Container.Content(Season) in DialogVideoInfo

i'm trying to create separate layouts for tv-show and season level in the video info dialog, but xbmc doesn't seem to recognize Container.Content(Seasons) in DialogVideoInfo.xml

can this be added? or is there a reason why it's left out?

the reason for having different layouts is because most people are using banners for tv shows and posters for seasons.

oh excuse me, but sometimes there's just such typos are the tearing of hair

Longwinded I know but couldn't you use !Container.Content(tvshows) + !Container.Content(episodes) + !Container.Content(movies) if it's only seasons that's not playing ball?

Maybe you can do it with a trick?
In the season level view installs a button without textures with an ID and in the video info dialog query if it is visible.

i don't know if it work.

thanx for the idea. tried it, but if i use !Container.Content(tvshows), it won't show up for seasons either.

thanx for the tips the both of you. i found something that works for me:
<visible>Container.Content(tvshows) + !StringCompare(Container.FolderPath,videodb://2/2/)</visible>

however, proper Container.Content(Seasons) support in dialogs would be better of course.

Note that technically we don't actually support season information in that dialog anyway. You'll notice you get the same info (other than the thumb??) as you do for doing an info lookup on the show item.

Given that there's no extra info for the season, IMO the better fix is to switch so that we display the tvshow thumb rather than the season thumb.

Your thoughts?

yep, agreed. just showing the tv show thumb at season level would be best.
