Well, conflicting requirements: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23594

Whatever you change, there is always one guy requesting previous behavior. But we cannot make settings for everything. All this code needs to be maintained.

Right. Only option for us is just to go back to 20.2. Another pain to re-do all our addons and databases… hehe

I just don’t understand what the security (?) issue ‘when there’s no info - fallback is to just play’ action.

But thanks anyways. Kodi is the best.

Who said anything about a security issue?

I reviewed the discussion here:

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371461

It seems folks complained with "Show Info" configured, Kodi would sometimes play the video instead. This presumably because the info was missing due to a scraper failure or whatever. Is that about right?

However, at least in my case, I don't expect any info because on the files in question there's no scraper or other data source configured. Set Content is configured with "None".

In that case, doesn't it make sense that Select should invoke Play?

I do feel this conflict can be resolved and without YACO (yet another configuration option).

My bad. Sorry. I just remember reading it on redit but couldn’t find it anymore.

Rather, ‘a bug’ as ksoo said.

Would someone be able to help me find the edited files to revert to old way. Like the xbmc/video/VideoInfoScanner.cpp file. I can't seem to find it. I have a OSMC Vero V and using Transmit app on Mac to FTP. I have the Hide Hidden Files option off.

The ‘complaint’ here seems to be solved in kodi ver 21. So choosing ‘Show Information’ as default select action, instead of showing ‘no info’ it goes to an option to play the selected video not in kodi’s library.

Nice touch Kodi masters! Cheers!

Just saw this thread after asking about the same issue elsewhere. Never had issues in 8 prior versions of XBMC/Kodi so the "fix" is just more break things and make them worse then respond with hostility when users question the reasoning.

Update: [Omega][video] VideoSelectActionProcessor: On ACTION_INFO, if the item has no video db info data, fall back to resume/play.

If this mens it will go back to just playing video then awesome and thank you!

It means that it we go back to what you have configured as default play action in Kodi settings.
