Kodi v18.4 on a 3rd Gen Fire TV (not a stick, but the diamond shaped pendant Fire TV) has a couple of issues for me. I thought that by updating to v18.5 that things might be fixed but they persist.
1: I have Kodi set to show information when in click on a movie, yet it keeps playing the file instead.
2: If i right-click on a file and force it to show me the information, the "refresh" button is missing, so I'm unable to correct things when the scraper pulls the wrong movie. And since the refresh button is also the place where I can see the filename, I'm unable to verify 100% that the scraper has pulled the correct info, since I have no idea what the filename is on the entry.
Possible pertinent information:
I'm running a MySQL v8.0 shared database on a Windows 10 x64 machine. Kodi on this machine works fine as far as I can tell. This is the machine that I use to add new movies to the database, but I rarely watch things here. That's why it's important to get the FireTV working correctly. The shared database is working fine.
When I upgraded to Kodi v18.5, I uninstalled Kodi completely from the FireTV. I didn't want the bug to transfer to v18.5 from 18.4.
The only plugins that I have installed are Trakt.tv (for tracking and rating) and YouTube (for trailers).
Thank you.
