There's a fair few things I've noticed, many of which seem to be profile related so I'm not sure if this is better listed as a kodi bug
One profile shows Stereo/5.1, AAC/Dolby, 1080p/720p etc.. in a line under the picture, list and selection detail (list view)
The main profile does not??
by the by : There was more detail shown in the confluence views (media type for one HEVC, AVC,DivX etc...)
It would be awesome if you could make use of all that lovely space with useful info
I would also suggest you use a filled (darker shaded) square for these details as backgrounds with lots of white writing can make some info harder to read
Another thing I noticed is that on an extrawide screen (3440x1440p) much of the content is shown all on the left hand side which is fair enough. However, when playing a video the shaded area for the progress bar stops midway on the screen. My guess is that's not anchored/pinned correctly as the controls (info, subs etc..) maintain their position relative to the right edge on the screen.
On the subject of subs. I have a lot of bother disabling them. It may be a trackpad thing (slow movement makes the issue worse). By the time my mouse gets to the disable control it's gone. If I explicitly click on the show subs options button I have half a chance to disable subs. (The disable control appears and disappears frantically, sometimes I arrive at the right time)
On a side note, it would be great if you could (choose to) disable subs by default if the audio language is the same. Right now disabling subs is a major pain, before installing the beta it was a nuisance.
In a related "trackpad issue", no scroll wheel. you can easily lose the "recent" , "year" , "genre" buttons as the screen is formatted too tall for 1080p
Perhaps move the time & date to the unused bottom bar and put these buttons on the top bar
* For TV if the in progress, recent & not watched entries were shorter (put the shaded text on the item image rather than below. that will save a ton of space
* Not sure what to suggest for movies other than smaller pics (and therefore more entries). There's already an issue showing short names so I can't see that creating a new issue. One suggestion...Make use of the unused bottom bar again. so you don't have to scroll "captain america : winter soldier" one word at a time. You could also show resolution media type, audio type etc..
Also, if there's no real difference between "unwatched movies" and "random movies" why show two lines?
Finally, on the space saving topic. If turning text 90 degrees is an option you can do what I do in my apps, save vertical space by turning "in progress, "recent" & "random" in it's side. If programming wise this is harder than it needs to be you could even consider using masked images instead
Finally, Marked as watched and 2 minutes from the end counts as an "in progress movies". Everything in my list has been watched and rewatched. Any chance this could be looked at.
Thanks for all the brilliant work you're doing!
(I hope this reads the way it was intended, spotted bugs & ideas to improve the layout...rather than a list of gripes)

In the following two dialogs
- Music -> Files -> Add music...
- Video -> Files -> Add videos...
I can't navigate between the different buttons / input fields using arrow keys because no element inside the dialog seems to be in focus when the dialog is opened. As soon as I use the mouse to hover over one of the dialog elements, navigation start working correctly.
This is an issue since I have to attach a mouse to the media center or switch skin to configure a new source

Hello,
I noticed an error with the option to adjust resolution to video resolution. Interface elements are not properly scaled. The font is too big and top bar is cut off. When I turn off this option GUI elements are ok, but video stutters. I use kodi on RPi 2 with LibreElec alpha-7.

I notice that it is no longer possible to put the weather in the top bar next to the time. Is this an intentional omission and is it permanent?
Also I notice that the home screen for media types without assigned folders doesn’t fit on the screen. The invitation to assign a folder is half off to the left.

Impossible to clean library.
I tried two options:
1. From Video library settings
2. change directory content to "none" and then: Actions - update library
The only solution right now is to delete file MyVideos.db
