Kodi on my Sony Bravia

Installed Kodi on my Sony Bravia TV via Google Playstore. I thought I'd give it a try as it could mean getting rid of my dedicated Kodi box (Acer RL70). I'm hardwired into my network so contention isn't an issue however I noticed that when streaming ...

How do I exclude “Trailer.*” from video library?

Device: Amazon Fire TV Stick
Kodi version: 17 "Krypton" beta
Data source: SMB, connected to my NAS

My movie folder structure consists of one folder per movie under which I typically have the following files:

  • Movie_Name.avi
  • Trailer.mp4
  • Poster.jpg

I want to exclude all "Trailer.*" files from my library. Following this wiki, I created the following advancedsettings.xml file and placed it in my Fire TV Stick's "Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/" folder, as per this other wiki.

Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <video>
        <excludefromscan>
            <regexp>^(?i)trailer\..+$</regexp>
        </excludefromscan>
        <excludefromlisting>
            <regexp>^(?i)trailer\..+$</regexp>
        </excludefromlisting>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>

I even tried a more restrictive, but also more straightforward regex that matches exactly the name of my trailer files, including capitalization, all with the same result.

Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <video>
        <excludefromscan>
            <regexp>Trailer\.mp4</regexp>
        </excludefromscan>
        <excludefromlisting>
            <regexp>Trailer\.mp4</regexp>
        </excludefromlisting>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>


However, nothing changes. I have tried all of the following to no avail:
  • Restarting Kodi
  • Rebooting my Fire TV Stick
  • Refreshing my library
  • Cleaning my library
  • Completely removing and readding my library

By the way, whether I have an advancedsettings.xml file or not, the trailer files only show in the main Kodi screen where you see Movies, TV Shows, Music, etc. on the left-side menu and you see sections "Recently added movies", "Unwatched movies", etc. If I actually click on Movies to go to the main movie list, the trailers never show, with or without these changes above. You can see that in these screenshots below.

[LibreELEC 7.0.2 x82] Stuck with resolution of 800×600

I would like to apologize if I make any mistake, english isn't my native language, this is my first post on this forum and its goddamn 2 AM where I live and I've trying (and failing) to fix this problem for about 4 hours straight

So I was using an old PC as a Media Center with an older Kodi version (Actually it was still called XBMC), I was using Windows XP because the PC is quite old and a friend of mine recommended not using Ubuntu at the time, for my surprise the PC could play 1080p files while the resolution of the screen was actually 1366/1360x768 (which as far as I know is the resolution of my TV, all my PCs recognize this one as the default), but I don't know what happened but suddenly XBMC couldn't download media info and after 6 month it just refused to open, so I thought It maybe would be worth trying an OS that is just made for Kodi, I've found out about LibreELEC and decided to try it out.

But I've found that its stuck on the resolution of 800x600, even worse is that the UI have some elements that are hidden in the border, its just weird, I've tried searching about but I haven't find anything that could actually help (I've found someone with the same graphics card with the same issue on OpenELEC and the solution was to import the config of a Kodi that actually runs on 1366x768, but I haven't mede the backup since I couldn't event open XBMC on XP), there's some thing about using a xrandr command in SSH, but I tried and it doesn't work, even the addmode and NewMode

My Specs(don't laugh):
-GeForce 6150SE nForce 430/integrated/SSE2
-OpenGL Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.131
-CPU: AMD Sempron™ Processor 140
-Memory 852MB

I know this is really shitty, but somehow with windows XP I could watch HD movies, and the only issue is that sometimes the movie would freeze for less than half a second and then continue, I would expect that with a OS made entirely of Kodi it would run even smoother than before
