In the past couple of weeks, the Nvidia Shield auto updated from Kodi Matrix to Kodi Nexus.
After that update, PKC and Nexus no longer update new TV episodes or Movies that are added to my PMS.
Initially when I looked into it, Nexus was reporting that it was still using the 1.6.14 PKC. I thought this might be the issue since I saw there was an update to PKC 1.7.1. So I performed that update, but new TV episodes and Movies still are not added.
I also tried using the beta of PKC 1.7.3 and that doesn't work either.
I signed out and back into my PMS through PKC but no change. I did a repair of the database, but no change. I finally tried a full reset of the database, which also did nothing.
So I went to a second Shield that hadn't had an update since Christmas, and updated to Nexus before opening Kodi. It opened in the last state it had been in back in December, and wouldn't add any new Movies of TV shows. So this Kodi only had stuff I had added to about 12/15, and the first Kodi had updates until 1.20. So essentially, the update to Nexus was freezing the database in its last Matrix state.
So I took a new Shield and did a clean install of Kodi Nexus. Then added a clean install of PKC 1.7.1. I then synced it with PMS and everything updated fine and PKC seems to be adding/removing movies/TV shows as it should. Everything is synced with PMS.
So what this appears to be, is some issue with how Nexus handles the update from Matrix. It essentially seems to freeze the state of your database, and won't allow changes to be made (like its read only after the update_. Seems less likely to be a PKC issue since the combination of Nexus/PKC 1.7.1 seems to work perfectly on a clean install.
I'm not sure how you report this bug to Kodi team, but maybe it is something they could fix with a Nexus 20.1 release?
Finally, I nuked Kodi on one of the other Shields I had been working on. Reinstalled Nexus and reinstalled PKC, and that one is working too. So it looks like the obvious solution for Shield users is to nuke everything and start over. Again, maybe a future update of Nexus may be able to address whatever is causing the database to freeze in its last Matrix state.
