You need to do a fresh install of both kodi and the mod if you are upgrading from 2.0.3 to 2.1.0

Yep. Fresh install. Had the last version of this skin running on 19.4 and everything worked. Uninstalled Kodi 19.4 and did a new install of 19.5. Deleted Kodi cache and Kodi data folder just be safe before installing this update. Files that are scanned into library are fine. Its just if you decide to play a file direct from HD it doesnt work. It tries to play but then nothing happens. Seems one other person is having the same problem. Works fine if you enable Kodi default skin.

'Now I understand what your asking... You can do it just play with the skin... Long press the ENTER button on the video file you want to play and I thinks you hit either info or play.... If you hit info then after the screen pops up hit play.... works just fine'

ive tried that already. Still no go. Like i said, all files work fine if they are scanned to library but unscanned movies from the same location (ie from same HD) will not work with this skin.

I don't know what it could be. I don't have that problem. Is this how you open a movie from hdd?

Yes. Thats exactly how ive been trying to open movies that are not scanned to library. Tried 'Play' option. Tried 'Play from here' option. Neither option will play the file. The loading spinner shows and then nothing happens.

Movies that ive already scanned to library i can open the normal way by just clicking on the cover art. They work fine that way. Its just unscanned movies that dont play.
