With regard to the bug of F5 leading to an empty dialog it is "BY DESIGN" as it simply reloads the info from the DB.
This means that if a series is on the filesystem but has not been scanned it is REMOVED.

Now it appears to me to be a "wrong" design that has been inherited from 1.3.x

I'm now wondering what we do expect to happen with the F5... what do you expect to happen with an F5 on a season?

I also discovered a second issue with the "Update Library" button that will skip the series that already exist in the DB

Now I'm trying to sort out how to fix it

Team I've never got an answer to this, is really a mess. Should I remove the F5 functionality at all?

Please no!
In 1.3.x, it will do a rescan of movie folder to find new images, trailer...

I look at this...

Dan,
this... what?

The same function is achieved removing the movie/show and updating the library. Also it does not generate any issue of "empty screen"

Also F5 will NOT add new movies or new items....

so I'm quite confused...

Do you have a show/episode name/number that produces the above error? Immediately prior to that message, there might have been another error - do you have that message available? I'm not familiar with that particular scraper, but it looks like the de-serialize method is failing. If I can simulate your dir structure for that particular show, I could see the error in action.

Here we go:

It happens to me on almost all shows. As test I use Green Wing
(http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=78899&lid=7) with fake empty mp4 files as I do not own the show
and, as preference in the settings, Italian with fall back on English

Hoping this helps to repro.
