Hello,
For eons I've had <hideemptyseries>true</hideemptyseries> set in all my advanced settings files with no issues (3 firetvs, one Windows server running mysql and main installation).
I've only recently discovered TAGS and thought they were the ticket the having personlized smart lists such as "Wife Recently Updated Tv Shows", the only issue I'm running into is I turned off the hideemptyseries so that I could associate all my wife's shows with tags, even those with no episodes; which was great, until watchdog cleaned the database at the next startup and deleted the empty series from my TAGS list.
We're a watch it and delete it household, so the clean database is necessary. I thought maybe if I set hideemptyseries to false, it would maintain the empty series but not actually hide them when the database was cleaned, turns out this was false. The only hideemptyseries entry that appears to have any effect on function is if you set it to "true", false, at least in my limited testing is the same effect as not having the entry in your advancedsettings file.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to clean the database, but not remove empty series from my tags? I found a discussion ( http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=214908 ) that seems to follow pretty much what I'm after, but the GIT mentioned in that discussion seems to just end: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5643
TL;DR. Is there a way to keep empty shows AND show them in the library after cleaning the database? Seems like <hideemptyseries>false</hideemptyseries> would accomplish this?
