Hi.
I kindly ask for it too. I have a HTPC without an optical drive, and the <message> section of the .disc stub is not shown, but "There is no optical drive!" error.
Stubs are very useful to manage offline movies and stuff when storage is limited.
Please, include in Kodi the former capability of displaying a customized message independently of the HW no-optical-drive limitation, which is quite nonsense.
Thanks!!

+100. I very much dislike the optical drive check for media stub files, and I think the feature was much better without it.

Hello,
I also think, this feature is very useful without a optical drive.
But I also see this text not on my system with optical drive (Kodi 14.0, Windows 8.1, two different systems with optical drive).
Regards

I'd also be happy, when it would be possible to see the stubs file message information, even if no optical drive is not present!
How about a setting for this?!

Hi.
Is there any news about this issue? Could it be possible to display the custom message regardless of actually having an optical drive?
For all intends and purposes, it is just an stub. Only the presence, title and message have sense. Please, display it.
Thanks

Has this bug been fixed in Version 16 ? Anyone tested for it in V 16?

I'm just speculating, but I doubt any of the devs are too exited to add/fix this feature because with the current HD prices, there is no real reason to even use this feature anymore.
Even those who use external harddrives, I have the feeling people would say, just build a NAS.

It really just needs the optical drive check removed. Then it can also be used to show movies from other services, like Netflix. It's a very flexible feature.
