Hello, thank you for all the updates so far.
Did you maybe have found a sollution for this little "problem"?

When a TV show is ending that it not automaticaly returns to the other unwatched tv shows

So whenever the list is empty it goes back? I can try it, worries there might be some scenarios that it causes an issue but can test it

What I actually meant is, after watching the latest episode of a TV Show, it should actually return to my Unwatched TV shows. Now it doesn't.
I hope you understand what I mean

Yes as @Hitcher says, this is core Kodi functionality. What I can do (I think) is give you an option that when enabled will say 'if you are in a TV show and there are no items (ie it's empty because e.g you have unwatched filter and no unwatched episodes, it will go back one level, ie return to the TV show list.

I'm not sure if this is different to what you're asking for and I can't vouch how will it would work with testing it out

Seems a lot of work to just replace one button press (back) with another button press (OK).

Was thinking I could do it with an onfocus in my hidden container button so that as soon as focus returns to the episode list, if it's empty it goes back to previous level. Not sure this is a good idea though

Ok, once you have 1.3.8, you'll see an option under Settings > Copacetic > Customisations > Experiments called 'Move to parent directory automatically if container is empty'. Enabling this will make it so as soon as the list you're in is empty, Kodi will move to the parent directory. I've briefly tested and I think it does what you want. But let me know if you run into any problems with it once you have the update.

I can confirm it's working now. It returns automatically to the parent directory now after playing the last episode.
Thanks a lot for making this option and sorry for all the hassle.

Don't mention it but I would recommend you stick to the version in my repo or Kodi as I use the direct github as my test environment so it can be unstable at times or things can be Work in Progress

Hi, @loveart, thanks for the feedback.  For movies, global search should check to see if any of the following contain the search term (title, plot, genre, set, director, actor, studio, tag).

One thing I'm thinking is, the results are capped to 30 and sorted by popularity, so it could be that it's finding too many other results and Howl's Moving Castle is not showing up in the first 30 when sorted by popularity.

Unfortunately there's no algorithm sorting relevance of search results, it's just basic syntax matching across those fields. The reason I chose to do this is because I feel global search addon searching just on titles feels a is bit too limiting, e.g. if I search 'Batman' I want 'The Dark Knight' to appear. I also want to be able to search by actor or director and see any movies or tv shows display. That's why I chose all of those fields, but it's probably going to take some time to find the right balance as the more fields it searches against, the more noise is introduced.

'How' is probably a very common used word in plot thinking about it. 

If you type in more, e.g. "Howl", does it then appear as that should prevent matching on the word 'how' being used in sentences in the plot?

thanks for your quick answer when i search for howl, the howl moving castle movies appears.
so i think the problem is the limit of result. 30 may not enough could you raise it?

I think it is a bandaid fix to increase the limit results because the search is returning too many unwanted results.
I think I will add a configuration screen similar to widgets where you can choose the limit of results for each row (movies, tv shows, etc) and which fields will be searched. Then you can configure it to your own liking

well, i think this is a good idea. so who used your skin can configure search function. hope you add this to next updated

Ok I've added a few options in the next version.
Right now, you can choose the limit for each row in global search and disable certain fields from being included e.g plot.

Originally I was going to make it fully customisable but I realised there are 8 fields being stretched for movies making for that route alone there would be 2^8 combinations = 256 different URL encoded xsp issue in a variable.

When I have time I can outright do this with a script much easier but for now I've kept it simple
