This just started happening.  When I click on the "Movies" item from the main menu, I don't get my usual movie list.  Instead, I get a submenu with the following list: Movies, TV shows, Files, Playlists, Video add-ons.  If I click on TV Shows, it takes me to the TV Show list as if I had clicked on TV Shows from the main menu.

If I click on "Movies", I get another submenu with the following list: Recently added, Genres, Titles, Years, Actors, Directors, Studios, Sets, Countries, Tags.  If I click on "Recently added" or "Titles", nothing happens.  Clicking on any of the other menu items, takes you to what you would expect.

If I activate "Flatten Hierarchy" in the Video settings, I get the following submenu items when clicking on "Movies" from the main menu: Movies, TV shows, In progress TV shows, Recently added movies, Recently added episodes, Files, Playlists, Video add-ons.  Clicking on either "Movies" or "Recently added movies" yields a pop-up stating "'Remote share - Path not found or invalid".  Clicking any of the other items gets the proper response.

I have removed my movie source and re-added it.  Same issue.  I have changes skins.  Same issue.  I can start a movie by accessing it through any of the filtered menus, like "Genres" or "Countries".  I can start any movie by accessing it through the "Files" submenu.  So, I know for a fact that the path is valid.  I cannot get my movie list back.  I don't want to have to continually access them from the "Files" menu.

Any ideas?

Which skin? Also, have been editing the nodes?

[clmoffatt]

I don't know what "editing the nodes" means, so I will say no.  All skins that I have.  I mostly use Metropolis or Confluence.  But it has the same behavior on all of them.

[Hitcher]

Have you enabled this option in Confluence?

[clmoffatt]

Sorry, just saw your response.  This setting did not work.  It hasn't changed the menu behavior at all.

[Hitcher]

So it's disabled and you're still having problems?

[clmoffatt]

It has the same behavior with or without this setting enabled.  It takes me to a list: Movies, TV shows, Files, Playlists, Video add-ons.  In Confluence, if "Movies" is highlighted and I click up, I see the most recently added movies and can play any of these.  If I use the sub-menus "Recently added" or "Titles" below, I get the same list as when I click "Movies": Movies, TV shows, Files, Playlists, Video add-ons.  The other sub-menu options behave as they should.  I am at a loss.

[Hitcher]

Have you edited the skin because those links are hardcoded?

What happens if you go through the Videos submenu item Library > Movies > Recently Added?

[clmoffatt]

I don't know how to edit the skin(s).  If I go to "Videos", "Library", I see the same list of options if I just click "Movies": Movies, TV shows, Files, Playlists, Video add-ons.  If I go to "Movies", I see: Recently added, Genres, Titles, Years, Actors, Directors, Studios, Sets, Countries, Tags.  Clicking on "Recently added" or "Titles" does nothing.  Clicking on any of the other items behaves as expected and will eventually get me a list of movies that fit the criteria of the sub-menu list item path.

If I activate "Flatten Hierarchy" in the Video settings and select either "Titles" or "Recently added", I get a pop-up that states "Remote share - Path not found or invalid".

[clmoffatt]

Is there any kind of logging I could turn on?

[Hitcher]

Enable debugging and run through the same actions.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.
4.Upload the log to Kodi Paste Site manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. (wiki) With either method post the link to the log back here.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file (wiki)

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Use the Kodi Paste Site. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum

I think this from the log is my problem...

Code:

Any idea on how to fix this?

[Hitcher]

I can't help you there but hopefully someone else will.

[clmoffatt]

Well, thanks for the help so far.  I have something new to Google so I'll try and find a fix to this issue.

I think your best option is to start fresh.
Delete or move the Kodi data folder (wiki)
Start Kodi and the folder will be recreated as if it is a brand new install.
Rebuild your Kodi and libraries.
