[Feature] Consistency with Arctic Fuse in the "search by people" option

Open Liquidrag opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the feature that you'd like

Arctic Fuse when you go into "information" and "cast" it pops up a "credits" option where it shows the movies, tv, and production of said actor however when in tmdbhelper when searching it separates movies and tv instead of grouping them in one list. I would like if it works like Arctic Fuse where it is grouped.

Why is this feature needed? What problem does it solve?

Shows movie, TV, and production in one list when searching a person instead of having to back out each time to see another list.

Steps to reproduce.

  1. search a person
  2. click on them
  3. choose movies
  4. back out to see list again
  5. choose tv

The big problem is that Kodi does not have a "mixed" content type, so there is no correct content type to set to the container (which then messes up skins because they don't know what viewtypes are appropriate).

It's fine in a widget because the skin can simply control the viewtype and knows that it is mixed content. For a standard Kodi view container, however, there is no way to indicate that the list contains both movies and tvshows
