Description of Change

List of new properties:

Common Properties

The follow properties apply to:

• myvideo.xml
• myvideoTitle.xml
• DialogVideoInfo.xml
• myvideoplaylist.xml

Note: MyVideo Playlist screen (myvideoplaylist.xml) was updated and can now show all movie properties together with mediainfo information and visibility condition for labels and values related to movieinfo.

Visibility condition:

• #hideinfo (True/False)
• Use for visibility condition to hide labels and values for video files not in the database (videos without movie info).  Use this on all labels and values related to movie info so they can be autohidden on selected video without entries in videodatabase (video is not scanned)
• Property will have value "False" when movie is in the videodatabase
• <visible>string.equals(#hideinfo, False)</visible>

Movie info properties:

• #studios (Movie studios)**
• #language (Movie language)**
• #country (Movie country)**
• #movieId - video database move id
• #watchedpercent (0-100) *
  • current video file watched status (how much is played)
  • no need to be in the video database -> scanned, can be applied to share view screen
• #watchedcount (0-n)*
  • how many times we watched some video file
  • no need to be in the video database -> scanned, can be applied to share view screen
• #videoruntime (H:M!https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png!) - real time video file duration (for stacked video files it will show full time duration for all files)
  • no need to be in the video database -> scanned, can be applied to share view screen
• #strrating - IMDB rating in text (n/10)
• #lastupdate (text, date of last vdb update)

* Watched percentage and watchedcount properties are also visible as one in label3 in listcontrol as text, so there is no need to use them as separate properties. It's up to skin designer how to use this.

** Data currently will be scraped only with IMDB_MP13x, kinopoisk.ru and imdb_de_ofdb_MP13x scrapers.
