nothing showing up in movie or tv show list

I’ve previously connected via PKC and managed to get playback on the raspi/osmc and even forced the transcode on the server (laptop) so that the raspi was not overloaded trying to play .265

I then updated the plex libraries and split my videos into two libraries: “movies” and “tv shows”.

Now when I use PKC on the raspi, despite having refreshed plex playlist/nodes and performed a manual library sync the “movies” and “tv shows” do show up as the first two major options but within those folders I can’t seem to see any movies or tv shows. The list of options is: on deck, recently added, movies, recommended, genres, collections and random but within all of those options are simply blanks.

Might be your advancedsettings.xml. Does this help? SPMC Empty Source · Issue #168 · croneter/PlexKodiConnect · GitHub

Nevermind

I wish I knew how to delete this comment

Croneter,

Thanks for your reply. I have followed the link you gave:

“Basically I still had in-place the AdvancedSettings.xml which would force Kodi to use a remote MySQL instance for it’s DB; it seems PlexKodiConnect was successfully writing the required entries to the local DB, and Kodi was ignoring them.”

And I’m not clear on what I actually need to do/change. Could you clarify please.

Chances are that your Kodi advancedsettings.xml. Could you please share it here? See http://kodi.wiki/view/advancedsettings.xml

Hi Croneter,

When I was on PKC advanced settings on the raspi/osmc interface I noticed an option to reset/rebuild database (can’t remember the exact term). Tried that and it then scanned my libraries and populated the tv shows and movie nodes with the list of stuff.

Problem solved!

Re-reading your post and the helpful link I now know the advancedsettings.xml is a file, it doesn’t have to exist but if it does it may have some wrong values. I’ll post it but I can’t find it, as I’m using OSMC and the file paths are slightly different.
