Error in home screen when default action is “Information” instead of “Play”

I recently switched to Kodi 18 with the Emby addon (didn’t use Emby before), so I’m not sure if it could be an Emby bug but I don’t think so.

Steps to reproduce : go to Settings -> Media -> Videos and set the “Default select action” to Show information. Then go back to the home screen, under “TV Shows” and click on any TV Show in the “In progress TV shows” list. You will be greeted with the show information, but if you click “Play”, instead of taking you to the show episodes, nothing happens and you get back to the home screen.

I enabled debugging to get as much logging as possible, but the error is easy to find in the logs. Here it is:

It looks like Kodi is trying to play a video instead of opening the path in the season browser. Here is the full debug log, in case it can be useful : https://pastebin.com/raw/N3Whj1Bm

Do you have any idea why this is occurring? This is happening on Mac OSX Sierra but I experience the same issue on my Nvidia Shield TV.

Thank you!
