Hello follow Kodi users,
I have had this annoying bug (or atleast i think its one but correct me if wrong) for a while but i did not know what caused it and i never dig into it but now i really wanted to watch this new movie and it just did not show up in Kodi.
I am/was using Kodi 16.1 but saw that there is a new version 17 in Windows store so i downloaded that now.
I tested first in 16.1 which had the issue and then moved to version 17 and had the same problem.
The problem:
I believe when Kodi in not able to find movie information it refuses to play the movie in question. The movie i tested on was “Breaking Bad The Movie 2017”.
First i noticed it does not show in Movies section, so i went into the folder from within Kodi and into the folder where the movie was and i could see the thumbnail and when i clicked on it i think it tries to fetch the information and then it shows me the pop up window where it wants me to enter the movie name (already filled in with Breaking.Bad.The.Movie.2017….”.
Here i press done and then it shows me “locally stored information found. Ignore and refresh from internet?”
I tried both Yes and No but not matter i do i end up with the same pop up windows.
So the way i made it work was to just type breaking bad which result in a few hits and select one of them. Then it can suddenly play the movie.
I’m guessing i should be able to play any movie without having the exact movie information but somehow Kodi is unable to do that right now. Maybe i’m doing something wrong but i cant see what it is. Tried to search the forum but didnt find anything similar.
Can someone please help me figure out if this is a bug or something i can change somewhere.
The movie in question is a mkv file so nothing strange. Its playable like i mention if i trick Kodi to select some other film.
Cheers.
