Hi,
I'm using openelec 4.0.2 with xbmc Gotham with Confluence skin on a RPi 512MB.
My problem is this: when adding movies, the newly added ones do not show up on the upper half of the screen. They are identified correctly by the scraper and show up in the movie collection. Every now and then a movie is shown under Recently added just to annoy me. I haven't found a pattern in which movie is shown. From the last added batch (Elysium, Exam, The Human Race and The Guard) only The Human Race is shown.
I hope I could describe my problem in an understandable way. Any input as to why my XBMC behaves this way is appreciated.
Regards,
benjonfin

I have a similar issue, but timestamps on files isn't the issue. rPI2.arm 5.0.8 + Amber Skin, storage on a NAS. Kodi 14.2GIT: 7CC53A9
In openelec, browsing through videos > files shows the new movies and creating a smart playlist (where path contains "Sci-Fi", for example) shows the new files, but recently added just doesn't want to work
On a Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, Kodi 15.1 + Amber skin works fine with recently added movies.

Hi all, having the same issue. Recently moved my library into Android Kodi. All recently added movies until the export in PC were working fine. New ones added directly on Android are not listed in the menu. How can I solve this? I don't want to make a cleaned and have to add covers and artwork for all. Thanks

Ok thanks guys problem is I have not idea what you're talking about. Which file or files should I check and how to check them? I never messed around with Kodi files and I don't want to screw things up even more.
Can you tell me which file may be creating this problem? I could upload it so that some of you could check what is the problem?
One more thing if my system time is correct and I add a new file to my NAS with timestamp date from today and then Add it to Kodi Library, shouldn't at least that one appear? It seems that any new movie or episode that I add from now on just doesn't show up. For that to happen system time/date or Kodi should be very ahead of time isn't it?
As far as I can tell Kodi uses the timestamp of the files, i.e., date/time of file creation isn't it? I may have to check my timestamps. Maybe the problem is there. Theoretically if I change them all say to today they should appear right?
Thanks

Fixed. It was definitely the timestamps on the files. Changed all the affected files to yesterday, refreshed them and there you go, they are in the recently added now.
Thanks

Hi
After fixing several media file names so the scraper now adds them to Kodi, they never show up in "Recently Added".
From an earlier response "The default "dateadded" is the modification timestamp of the movie file, though this can be changed to the system time when the movies are added to the library", it seems that "Recently Added" actually means "Recent Content"!
Does anyone know how to change it as per the above so that it actually reflects the library addition time?
