As a workaround to the favorites issue, I found two workarounds:
- Go to the channel in the favorite list, move down to one of the videos, bing up the context menu and select "Go to channel name". (I only have this option on one of my two Kodi installations, both same version of everything, not sure why it only exist on one of them)
- Install the add-on "Super Favorites", this has an option "Explore Kodi Favorites". When you access the channel this way it will fetch an updated list. Just add Super Favorites as a shortcut on the home screen, and its only a few extra steps to get the updated content list for a channel. Not optimal, but at least you are able to manually refresh.
