Installed kodi 17.6, fixed my library of movies from HDDs and running dlna with samsung tv UE65KU6000 all default video/movies categories are showing up (without thumbnails) and play fine. I created and checked my own smartlists inside kodi (all show fine in kodi) and on samsung through dlna i see my smartlists but opening them are all empty. Refreshed from tv option nothing. Restarted Kodi, tv, still nothing changed. Uninstalled kodi and installed kodi X64 version, nothing. Searched in forum couldn't find anything. It's driving me crazy. Hope somebody can help.

How about simply starting with a new & totally clean Kodi profile and stop wasting our time?
Last chance.
Apparently the uninstall procedure of add-ons can result in some 'leftovers'.
Personally I'd start with a fully new kodi profile to be sure there is no "outside interference".
