All movies dated 06/06/1905

I am running Kodi 17.1 on a Firestick (Gen 1) from a Upnp source (using JRiver Media Center 22 running on Windows). The Actors, Director, Genres, etc. all work but ALL the files are dated 06/06/1905. I am guessing that Kodi is looking at some field f...

How do I transfer files to Kodi over my network?

My external hard drive is hooked up to Kodi and Kodi is connected to my network via ethernet cable. I'm wanting to put files on my external hard drive from my laptop which is connected to the network via wifi. How do I do this?

VPN Shenanigans

I have a functional VPN setup following the instructions from this video.

After confirming a VPN connection via the VPN Manager setup from the video above, I do an ifconfig -a and get this:

osmc@osmc:~$ ifconfig -a

I modified the TAP inet address for privacy reason. When I go to System and System Info my IP address is still showing my initial NON-VPN Private WIFI address 10.1.1.97. Why doesn't the System Info page in Confluence update to my VPN Internet address when I am connected via my VPN?

Button not willing to accept some $INFO in label

I have the below button in my <control type="list"> <itemlayout>. Label is not displayed.
If I change its control type to "label" - labels are displayed. If I change $INFO to $INFO[Weather.Temperature], it is displayed.
The <content> for this list is videodb:// (or musicdb://).

Why such behaviour (and, in the first place, how to avoid it)?

Code:
<control type="button">
<description>List item label</description>
<top>0</top>
<left>BaseItemSize</left>
<height>BaseItemSize</height>
<width>LabelWidth</width>
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow($VAR[current_window],$INFO[ListItem.FolderPath])</onclick>
