Forcing MySQL database reload from current NFO

Hello, I use mysql to share database between 4 kodi install :1 LibreElec, 2 OSMC and my main PX with Kodi Windows. I use my main PC to manage media database update. When i do some modification with tools, such tinymediamanager, then modified data are...

Why is this change breaking the skin?

I have just gone to Kodi 17.0 and hate the fact that I don't have "time remaining" shown.. So I tried to modify the Estuary skin and failed.

But then I realised I could use the Confluence skin so downloaded it and its fine.. But then I made the change that I have made many times in Kodi 16, documented here:

HOW-TO:Add_Time_Remaining_to_Confluence (wiki)

But when I made the change, it messes up the playback GUI.. But whats weird is that when I uncomment out my lines, its stays broken and only works again when I DELETE them.. I am a bit confused, as surely uncommenting them should be fine..

So let me be specific... The line of interest are this:

<label>$LOCALIZE[31049] $INFO[Player.Fibel>$LOCALIZE[31049]

<label>$INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>


I then change them and add extra lines so it reads like this:

<!label>$LOCALIZE[31049] $INFO[Player.Fibel>$LOCALIZE[31049]
<label>Runtime: $INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)] (Ends $INFO[Player.FinishTime])</label>

<!label>$INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>
<label>-$INFO[Player.TimeRemaining(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>


After this change, the Skin is no longer correct and the GUI is broken.. So I then uncomment/comment the lines:

<label>$LOCALIZE[31049] $INFO[Player.Fibel>$LOCALIZE[31049]
<!label>Runtime: $INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)] (Ends $INFO[Player.FinishTime])</label>

<label>$INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>
<!label>-$INFO[Player.TimeRemaining(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>


And its STILL broken.. The only way I can get it working is to delete my lines, and then it works again, like this:


<label>$LOCALIZE[31049] $INFO[Player.Fibel>$LOCALIZE[31049]

<label>$INFO[Player.Duration(hh:mmConfuseds)]</label>



This is standard XML stuff.. So why is this breaking the skin.. Even when I comment out my lines.. Is there something else I am missing which is new in Kodi 17.0?

200 item limitation???

Hello,
I am new to RPI, KODI and also this forum so please bear with me...

I am running RPi 3 with KODI (v.16.1) on LibreELEC (v.7.0.3)
All works fine except one thing I can´t sort out myself and need help:
I have a drive shared through KODI with 400+ files and when I try to access these files from my Android (6.0.1) using VLC player, browsing via upnp path: Video Library/Movies/Title, it shows only first 200 files. There is some sort of limitation to max. 200 items as the same applies to Directors, Studios etc. (any folder having more than 200 items).

When I browse via smb, all files are there and accessible but I am losing the benefit of subfolders created by KODI.

I tried 321 Player apart of the VLC and it´s the same story.

Any ideas what´s wrong? Maybe just my ifnorance and wrong settings? Any help much appreciated.
