Yes, I'm back from Kodi 20 to 19.5 as well.
After around of 30 days of being on Kodi 20 I decided to "roll back" to 19.5
Why?

@rafikW ", from the post to which you have linked it would appear that Xonfluence has a way of accomplishing things which, however tolerated it has been by Kodi up to v19.5, is no more tolerated in v20 upwards. 

Might all this suggest that Xonfluence needs a clean up? I mean, if there are two suspects for causing dysfunction, Kodi v20.0 on the one hand and Xonfluence on the other, chances are that the software with the lesser support is the culprit.

I spend few hours on trying to narrow down what is the root cause of the issue I have reported that suddenly on Kodi 20 with Xonfluence the following was in the kodi log:

leading eventually to Kodi freeze probably because of memory exhaustion.
First I though it is initiated by update action in "Light IMDb Ratings Update 5.1.1" add-on but further investigation showed this add-on is not guilty guy for above "UpdateDetailsForMovie"
At the end of troubleshooting I detected that it is even happening when I was on Estuary skin without any add-ons so I really have no clue why it was happening but it indicate that maybe my Kodi database got corrupted during the migration from 19.5 to 20.0 version (MyVideos119 -> MyVideos121)
This is why I decided to downgrade back from CoreELEC 20 to CoreELEC 19.5
Later on I will try to migrate again with clear CoreELEC installation as suggested by CoreELEC team. I will do exactly the same as I did month ago not following dirty upgrade CoreELEC 19.5 -> CoreELEC 20.
But as you can read in this thread other people are reporting some issues with Xonfluence on Kodi 20 so in general I think Xonfluence require a lot of adjustments to be fully compliant with Kodi 20 but I'm afraid it won't happen as @bsoriano is not active any longer here.
It would be interesting to know whether users of other skins experience as many freezes and glitches upon updating to Kodi v20.0.
Does anyone know what code is used to display the full file path in the "information" dialog? I like to add the file size somewhere in 'media info'...

Yes I do.

Random freezes while scrolling along main menu. Probably not related to issue mentioned above but it just drive me nuts.

I'm on PC WIN 10
Stable K20 release.

Apparently the issue with hundreds of lines:

in kodi.log which eventually was leading to memory exhausting and Kodi freeze is "The TVDB v4" TV scraper.


Now I'm again on CoreELEC 20 with Xonfluence and two the most important add-ons to me:

So Xonfluence is exonerated?

99% yes, Xonfluence is not "to blame" for the problem I was experiencing.
So far it is working OK...
Today, as requested by Kodi Team,  I will try to do some more testing with debug enabled to narrow down potential root cause...

DialogPlayerProcessInfo.xml
I believe this is good only for OSD (when the Player is active?) . I mean for listitems views (in ViewsVideoLibrary.xml) Listitem.Size displays 0, which I think is a know problem.
There is one place I can see the size - in Video Files "List" - when sorting by size, but I cannot find the code used for it Sad
Can someone help me out with this?
I want to replace the 'Recent Episodes' widget with 'Recent Shows'. I can easily make a smart playlist or library node that creates the desired list of shows in the desired order (play count = 0, sort by date added).

However, for some reason when I add that smart playlist or library node to favorites and then I add it as a widget, it takes a LONG time to even display the widget each time Kodi is started. I can go and browse the list after startup, go back to home screen and still wait a few seconds before it shows up.

Is there some way to optimize this? Maybe build it into the XML somehow could speed it up? The 'Recent Episodes' get displayed almost instantly...
Is it equally slow when opened as a library node? If not, I could help you posting my RecentTvSeries.xml node, which is reasonably snappy. If yes, my node will likely be as slow as a widget as yours is right now.

If I'm understanding you correctly, then no. As I wrote, I can launch kodi, navigate to the playlist/node and see it displayed (the shows' posters in the correct order), then back out to the home screen and still wait a few seconds before that same list appears in the widget area.
