Hi Guys, just wanted to share the solution to my issue that I'm quite pleased about. Perhaps it'll help someone else who's having the same issue.
Before I start, just wanted to add that 6.3x is amazingly fast! Didn't get a chance to chime in a few weeks ago.
Anyway...
A while ago I posted over here about an issue I was having after moving from 4.7 to 6.3x http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221352&page=3
My TV shows began stretching off into infinity. When I clicked on a new show, I'd get the tail end of the show listed in the EPG, then something else random would start. The EPG looked a little something like this:
Anyway, I tried everything I could think of, every setting was toggled, channels were added, channels were removed etc. Eventually on a second machine I installed a new version of Kodi, PTLV, helper add-ons etc. Once I linked my shared media, I had the same issue.
Which made me wonder. Nobody else seemed to be reporting the issue, and the only commonality between the two machines was the share media. I use locally scrapped NFO meta-data media instead of letting KODI load from TVDB. I erased my local .nfo's for my episodes, re-scrapped and voila! Works like a charm.
I use Ember to build my metadata.
So here's the thing: comparing my movie .nfos to my tv .nfo's we see what's causing the issue in the runtime tag
Movie:
<runtime>95 min</runtime>
TV:
<runtime>1294</runtime>
Now this seemed to be ok in 4.7 I'm not sure if some logic got dropped, or I was just really lucky with what got load in EPG
Anyway I thought I'd point it out. Hope it saves someone some time
