This has been gone for me for a little while now, but is not used all that frequently since most movie sets are recognized, but I no longer have the option to create a new collection, only select an existing collection. I can still remove from a collection if I no longer want a movie in a collection or change the collection it is in, just not make a new one. So for instance, I would like to create a Justice League Collection and put both versions of the movie in it. I currently am unable to do so. This is primarily used by me with stand up comedy where I group the specials for each comedian into a collection. Thanks for any advice you can provide. I thought perhaps a helper or something got defaulted to off or something, similar to the issue I had with the alphabet strip disappearing and I had to re-enable the Embruary Helper.

@crazyhands911 , thanks for reporting this.  The button is there, it just has the wrong label (OK is the incorrect label in your screenshot).  

I just fixed this on GitHub, please download and test and let me know that it is indeed fixed.  Thanks.

I was running Version 3.2.128. After downloading the file from GitHub and installing it from zip, the add-on says it has been updated and sits at a empty screen.
Backing out and going to Skin Settings, I'm showing 3.2.127 in the bottom corner....
If I click back into Addons though, the screen remains blank and I can't see anything about addons.
To fix it I have to go and delete the kodi folder and replace it with a backup folder I have stored from a few days ago. I just tried down loading the file from github again before this last attempt

I did a debug log during my last attempt

The blank screen is normal until Skin Shortcuts rewrites the script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml back to the updated skin folder in Addons. It normally shouldnt take more than a few seconds. Maybe your not waiting long enough? Or maybe something got corrupted? You can try updating the skin like you did, and shut down Kodi. Then replace only the script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml from the skin.amber/1080i folder from your last backup and restart.

I've tried closing and reopening Kodi as well, with no changes. The fact that it shows Amber dropping back in version# makes me think the zip is corrupted or something, but even after downloading it again, the same thing still happens.

1. You can click on the Director, and Amber will search where this person has appeared.  If you have TMDb Helper and Embuary Helper enabled, you can choose whether the search is local or online. 






If online, you get the same person info dialog I showed before for an actor, with the same functionality:



If you search locally, you get this:




2. You can do the same thing with writer.  If there are multiple people for director or writer, Amber will show you a dialog to choose for which one you want to do the search, after you select to search either online or locally.

3. You can also click on Genre, and search either locally:





Or online:



As you can see from above, you also have the indicators which show which items you have in your library.

4. You can click on country, and Amber will search locally for which movies you have from that country.  The search here is only local, since the TMDb API does not have a search by country functionality.  So you would get this;



5.  Finally, you can also click on Studio, with the same functionality of searching online or locally, including deciding for which one you want to do the search if there are more than one.  In the example below, I searched locally:






I hope this gives you a better idea of the capabilities of the video info dialog in Amber.

hello again and thanks so much for all the info. i knew pretty much of all of it already beforehand. i don't know how it it on windows or  PC but unfortunately TMDB helper is useless on android tv since i wait at least 20 - 30 seconds for online information, sometimes longer and sometimes it doesn't even show up at all but keeps loading and loading. embuary helper is also useless since it constantly crashes kodi, other people also reported this issue already with this helper...

because i have tried pretty much all of your suggestions already and they didn't work for me very well i just wanted to get the most out the info dialogue.

@crazyhands911 , I apologize for the inconvenience.  I have fixed a file that is needed to have all content default to List view type when you install the skin from scratch (or download a zip from GitHub).  Please download from GitHub again.  To be totally sure that files will be overwritten properly, you can quit Kodi, remove the skin.amber folder from your <userdata>\addons\ folder, and then install Amber from the downloaded zip file.  

Please let me know if this is now fixed.  Thanks.

This did fix the issue I was having with being able to Add a New Movie Collection.
This does show a reduction in Version to 3.2.127 still, instead of 3.2.128.
Amber also shows an Update available. Show I update, or is it just going to mess things up again?

Noticed that amber repo on leia doesn't include updated finnish language. Using github version and kodi says there is update for amber. But if I update amber, it misses some translations
