No, the subset you’ve selected is fine, only the camera manufacturer is missing from my point of view.
In order to make the most of the available space, I would suggest to show also for images three lines of information on the bottom of the Now Playing screen, maybe:
Image name
Date and Time taken
Camera manufacturer and model name
These data could be always shown, similar to the interpret and album names when playing music…
What do you think?

Sadly, this is not that straight forward because the information source and the implementation is different for the overlay screen and the NowPlaying info itself.
I am even in doubt whether I should switch off the feature again for the next release. If the latest Kodi version has problems with it, this will only cause bug reports.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind if the EXIF information remains shown as in the current TestFlight, even with fewer fields. My comment was solely referring to “I am even in doubt whether I should switch off the feature again for the next release”. Because that would be a pity from my point of view.

It is disheartening how different Kodi versions behave. It makes it so hard to test changes. With which version of the App did the API error start?

If necessary, I can do some rechecks, but I am quite sure that the API error was introduced with the most recent changes (showing episode numbers like album track numbers) -> 1.13 (3993)

Looks like I found the root cause. It was the fix for enqueueing items after the first episode renaming change which was added with the last TF build. I now use the parameter "title" when requesting "VideoLibrary.GetSeasons", but this is only support since JSON API v10 -- my fault, I was simply overseeing this when checking for compatibility. I will look into this later today.
Regarding the leading "08." before the episode title I cannot really do anything about it. This is obviously the "title" which Kodi provides, as it before was providing the "label" "1x08. Something". At least the App displays as desired for newer Kodi versions.

Thanks for the new build.
Just want to report that I’m experiencing rather noticeable stutter in the TV show episode list view when you expand a season.

Just tested this and also see some stutter which started with TF 1.13 (3953). It seems ok with 1.13 (3924). It also was stuttering with the two test builds to check for your loading problems: 1.13 (3779) and 1.13 (3780). Can you also check this and confirm? I also only see this with the episode view. Same for you?
Edit: Did some test, especially as even 1.13 (3779) stutters. Looks like the migration to the updated Open Source package sd-webimage-downloader caused the problem. This migration removed a Remote App specific change to scale (down) images once while downloading and before adding them to the cache. Now the images are scaled to the desired size each time when becoming visible, e.g. while scrolling. I obviously need to see if I can re-add this optimization to the code again.
