--- Bug Describtion ---

The video context menu gets destroyed/reduced if the profile login screen is activated!
Then "Play", "Information" and "Mark as seen" items of movies and tvshows are missing in the context menu.
It doesn't matter how many profiles are available, or if only the master profile is available without any restrictions.

Any suggestions?

Are you using profiles? I think it's a profiles bug.

Yes, I use 2 profiles. But as described, there is the same problem, if only the master profile is available and then the profile login screen is activated.

The bug just depends only on if the profile login screen is activated or not activated.

Ah, sorry, I had glossed over that part in your post.

no problem! Wink

Do you know if that bug will be fixed in final Krypton release? I must use profiles because of my kids Nod

Honestly, it doesn't look good at the moment. Profiles is somewhat of a neglected feature, and probably needs to be rewritten. At least, that's the impression I got from some developers.

That would be worst case, then I'll have to stay at 16.1, and probably every user, who needs profiles, too :-(

is there a Kodi Team member who can commit that bug?

I've found out that this param causes the problem:

<useloginscreen>true</useloginscreen>

if I change to <useloginscreen>false</useloginscreen> the context menu is fine again after login to a profile!

But then I lost my profile login screen... :-(

Bug is fixed in latest nightly build KodiSetup-20170129-6b78b00-Krypton! Thank you :-)
