Krypton event server

Something happened from between Krypton Alpha 2 to Alpha 3 with the event server and IPV6. I don't know what exactly. But ever since, the event server doesn't work with remotes. I am using Vista. Can this be set back to allow IPV4?

Album titles in Wall vision with Estuary Skin

Hi friends.
I'm new in this community forum and I'm very happy to partecipate.
My problem is in the visualization of the Album Titles in the Music Section.
With the new version of the software (Kodi 17 - Beta 6 and Beta 7) and the skin Estuary, if I set the visualization of the album as a Wall, sorted by years, I can't see the Album titles but the name of the artist for every album.
Do you know this problem and think that wil be repair?
Many thanks.
