It doesn’t matter if I went into an empty show or one with episodes, a back navigation always fixes the listing (the empty ones are hidden), but when I go back to the main menu, and re-enter TV Shows, the empty ones are coming back again.
I expect not to show any empty TV shows even when I am entering from main screen.
Just gave a try to Kodi (17.3) on Windows (via Store installation), the empy items are hidden on the first try there.
I don’t say it is not present in Kodi but this may be related to the OSMC skin/default TV shows link from the main menu (?)
We do use a slightly different link to TV Shows than Estuary - library://video/tvshows/titles.xml as opposed to library://video/tvshows/titles/ - but this shouldn’t cause any issues, as ultimately they’re both just different ways to link to the same library node (ours is a little more explicit because of the skins utilisation of the Skin Shortcuts script). It would be interesting to know if you can reproduce the issue with Estuary on your OSMC box - if so, then it may point to an issue with how Kodi/OSMC handles explicit links to a library node. If not, it would point to issues elsewhere.
Tried Estuary on OSMC, that was working fine. After this I tried again with different settings on the OSMC skin (flatten hiearchy Y/N, show empty tv shows Y/N, rebooting after changing the value), but with Show empty TV shows = N the same issue is still on.
I recently moved from the Vero 1 (OSMC/Kodi 17.4) to the Vero 4k (same version).
On de Vero 1 this probem didn’t occur but on the Vero 4K it is as described above.
So It looks like platform (SoC) related.
I update to the OSMC august update before switching to the Vero 4K so I was on Kodi 17.4
And I never had the problem on the Vero 1.
On the Kodi forums there are more problems as these al started with Kodi 17.x.
May the problem occurs because of a new device that uses the shared MySql Video DB ?
I could try a fresh start with a new db this weekend ?
I would have posted the instructions yesterday, but the staging repository is a little bit choppy right now because of some UDisks changes I am making to prepare for the transition to Stretch.
On advise from Sam waited until the September update where the fix should be added to.
But no change with the september update.
There are more reported issues with this on Kodi 17 but I had no problems on the Vero1 Kodi 17) and no problems on the Pi 1 (Kodi 17) ?
