Kodi Build 20.2(20.2.0).

In Favourites I have eight Entries as follows:

1. The Category "Titles" for Movies (Shows ALL my movies)
2. A Movie Library for Documentaries (Shows a subset of item 1. above)
3. A Movie Library for Grown-ups (Shows a subset of item 1. above)
4. A Movie Library for Kids (Shows a subset of item 1. above)
5. The Category "Titles" for TV Shows (Shows ALL my TV Shows)
6. A TV Show Library for Documentaries (Shows a subset of item 5. above)
7. A TV Show Library for Grown-ups (Shows a subset of item 5. above)
8. A TV Show Library for Kids (Shows a subset of item 5. above)

I use Local Information ONLY for all my libraries. I use Estuary on both my Windows Laptop and my Vero. My "GoTo" view is INFOWALL.

When I select items 1-4 above I get a listing of Movies and when I hover over the movie posters on the right pane, I get the title and description/plot)in the left pane.  ALL GOOD.
When I select item 5 above I get a listing of TV Shows and when I hover over the TV Show posters on the right pane, I get the title and description/plot in the left pane.  ALL GOOD.
When I select items 6-8 above I get a listing of TV Shows and when I hover over the TV Show posters on the right pane, I get the title and "No Information available" for the description/plot in the left pane.  NOT GOOD.

I find this strange as item 5 contains ALL my TV Shows and descriptions/plots are displayed (and I have verified that the descriptions/plots are all in the .nfo files).  Items 6-8 contain subsets of item 5 (i.e. the same TV Shows and the same .nfo files used by item 5) but fail to show descriptions/plots.

Does anyone know how I can get my items 6-8 to show descriptions/plots (in the left pane) when I hover over the TV Show posters in the right pane?

Thank you.

I am trying to replicate your post.

I assume the entire post refers to Favourites only?

That is not a view in Favourites.

This is in Favourites?
What exactly have you added to Favourites? A playlist? A Source folder? Individiual tv shows?

I have tried replicating all those and the info displays for me. maybe you can post a screenshot or a small video showing the steps you used?

Thank you Karellen, apologies, it seems my terminology in my original post didn't help to make things clear - I'm fairly new to this and don't have all the right terms yet. I was about to send you screenshots as you asked but then I stumbled on the following which I believe is the exact same problem that I have and screen shots are provided.

At the end of the thread in the link above, you said "I think the easiest thing to do (for both you and me) is to perform a Fresh Start and rebuild your library. I actually did this when I did a brand new set up (My initial set up was Windows and I did a brand new build on Vero)

Does the information in the link help explain my issue better and did you ever come across this issue again to where a solution was identified?

Thanks again for your very quick reply and interest.

No that really doesn't help, as I still don't know what the exact problem was in that thread.

Can you provide a Debug Log that captures an Update Library. Then also tell us which shows did not scrape after you ran that.

OK, I found a resolution that works well on my Vero and in Windows.  Again, the issue is as follows: I have set up some Video Sources for TV Shows. With views such as Infowall, when browsing through the Video Sources on the right-hand pane, the plot does not appear on the left-hand pane.  Instead, "No Information available" appears. The problem does not happen with Movies, only TV Shows
The following resolved the problem.  I set up some Nodes that show the same TV Shows as the Video Sources and with the Nodes, the plot does appear on the left-hand pane.

Other information: I use the Estuary Skin and I use "Local Information Only". I replaced the TV Show Video Sources in my Favorites with the Nodes.

I hope this information is useful.

Thread marked solved.
