jump to movie detail page (calling from another plugin) (1 Viewer)

[jitterjames]

I am writing my own mediaportal plugin. I have a working framework in C# and am able to execute code when I press a key on my remote.

Assuming that I know both the title of the movie I want to watch and the id (from the movingpictures xml exporter) how would I go about jumping to the details page of the moving in moving pictures.

For example if I wanted to be able to press a key on my remote and go to the moving pictures detail page for "gone with the wind".

I have tried referencing the movingpictures dlls and including the namespaces but I just can figure out what code to call.

sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I couldn't find another thread that was appropriate.

Thanks. This is a fantastic plugin, and a lovely community of bright friendly people. I hope to become more involved.

You might be able to hack something together, but this is not possible by any normal means. You would need access to the MovieBrowser class and the instance you'd be interested in is a private member of MovingPicturesGUI. You might be able to get the result you are looking for by sending some fake messages to MovingPicturesGUI. Jump on the IRC channel if you want to discuss.

hmm... I wasn't expecting that. OK thanks for your help.
