plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&movie=[MOVIENAME OR DBID]
plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&tvshow=[TVSHOW NAME OR DBID]
plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&movieset=[MOVIESET NAME OR DBID]

Provides the Cast list for the specified media type as a listing. Can be used as a replacement for the normal actors listing in DialogVideoInfo.xml

Listitem properties:

  • Label = Name of the actor
  • Label2 = Role
  • Icon = Thumb of the actor

You can use the name of the item or the DBID to perform the lookup.

There will also a Window Property be set when you use the above query to the script: SkinHelper.ListItem.Cast --> It will return the cast list seperated by [CR]

Optional parameters:

  • downloadthumbs --> If set to true, will auto retrieve any missing actor thumbs from TMDB
  • castaction --> if set to extendedinfo, will show extendedinfo cast details if user clicks the cast item, otherwise it will show a dialog of items in the library (kodi default behaviour)
