Hi guys
After updating to Isengard, the "<hideallitems>true</hideallitems>" in advancedsettings.xml doesn't work anymore.
The "All Seasons" poster is show in every TV Show. It has never done this before.
-->
<videolibrary>
<hideallitems>true</hideallitems>
</videolibrary>
Can anyone help to figure this out?
Thanks!

It's now an option in the GUI:

Settings -> Videos -> Library -> "Show 'all items' entry"

Try changing the Settings Level to Advanced

You should have lots of other goodies now available as well, we do this to stop the interface being too cluttered by default and having an overwhelming number of options for the newbie. We try to keep the essential stuff as viewable at Standard Level but opinions will obviously differ on what's essential.

Yeah, I find that odd to have in advanced. Fun fact, OpenELEC defaults to "Advanced" view because they got tired of how many things are hidden. The argument was that OE users were "more advanced than normal Kodi users", but apparently not smart enough to toggle the settings level. To be fair, I think we do need to make a lot more settings "standard".

Personally I'd prefer it done via a "Show advanced options" selection within every settings window.

Kind of like a "more..." button that exposes full controls? I could see that.

Something similar to selections like "Enable passthrough" in Audio Output where a bunch of stuff is hidden by default, and enabling then shows a load more options. So in each settings window you'd have a "Show advanced options" setting with a radio button alongside to enable, thus it would no longer be a global setting, you'd just enabled the advanced options in the required windows.
