I’m busy converting a V1 plugin to V2 framework however run into 1 annoying problem i think … at least i can’t find the answer to my problem.
In V1 the lists are created with the MediaContainer object giving access to DirectoryItem with the attribute subtitle
In V2 the lists are created with the ObjectContainer object giving access to DirectoryObject and PopupDirectoryObject but there’s no attribute subtitle anymore.
I’ve tried substituting subtitle for tagline but it doesn’t show anywhere throughout the menu’s. I use the subtitle tag to display more info on the title.
Does anyone know how to get something similar back?
Try using the “summary” attribute 
I am already using that one ... :D for the description.
The nice thing about the subtitle attribute is that it display's in an alternate color ( yellow ) and fills the large amount of blank space between title and summary location. I've been using the MediaItem object but have to change it in order to get access to something i need badly, the PopupDirectoryObject ...
I've tried highjacking some of the other objects that are available but none seem to offer it anymore or present an entirely different layout. Any suggestions?
First screenshot is with the DirectoryObject using the tagline ( which isn't displayed anywhere ), the second one is the DirectoryItem with subtitle.
I’ve been giving this some thought, i know it’s probably not possible right now, but wouldn’t it be nice to have access to some of those spaces from the DirectoryObject? The presentation of the current DirectoryObject / Item may not be ideal but it suits allot of applications just fine. I at least could even find some use for the blank space between the subtitle and summary tag. For my application if that space had a tag and was presented a in a smaller font i could display nr of players information in there for example similar to the presentation of genre / playtime of the MovieObject.
If we could get access to those two spaces from the DirectoryObject it would mean the world to us! … well at least to me :lol:
