Hi,
Does anybody have the same problems as I'm having?
To my knowledge one of the problems (Problem 1) started when I installed V18, but I'm not entirely sure. The other one (Problem 2) has been around longer.
Problem 1 (the new and most annoying one)
When I select "Hide watched" in my movies list, it first shows only unwatched movies, but after a while (when I go in and update information on a movie for instance), it no longer shows only the unwatched movies, but all the movies. The checkbox for "Hide watched" is still checked, but all movies are displayed. At this point, it does not help to uncheck and then check the "Hide watched" box, it does nothing. Then later, when I do other changes, sometimes it works again. Arbitrary, and very annoying. The most annoying thing is that it takes quite some time for the list to update when all 2566 movies are displayed, since I have the database on an external MySQL box.
Problem 2 (slightly less annoying, but annoying nonetheless)
On those occasions when the "Hide watched" works, when I mark a movie as watched, Kodi does not position itself on the subsequent movie (as it did in previous versions, v16 I think at least), but rather jumps back to the beginning of the list. This is very annoying if you have watched a couple of movies on another platform and want to go through your list and mark the ones you have seen. It requires a lot of scrolling back and forth. This applies to both the Confluence skin and the Estuary skin.
Setup: Windows 10 with latest updates, Kodi 18.3 64-bit, Confluence skin.
Movies: Currently I have 2566 movies, 562 of which are unwatched. They all reside on my NAS, all in the same folder.
