Description

Describe the feature

Currently the Kodi information pane is showing very limited metadata for our VOD content:

  • ListItem.Premiered (episode) -- Date aired:
  • ListItem.Studio (episode/oneoff/program) -- Studio:
  • ListItem.Tag (episode/oneoff) -- Tags:

whereas we could be showing:

  • ListItem.Date (episode/oneoff) -- Date:
  • ListItem.DateAdded (episode/oneoff) -- Date added:
  • ListItem.Duration (episode/oneoff) -- Duration:
  • ListItem.Playcount (episode/oneoff) -- Play count:
  • ListItem.LastPlayed (episode/oneoff) -- Last played at:
  • ListItem.DBTYPE (episode/oneoff/program) -- Media type:
