Greeting everyone.
First of all its my first post in here so I would like to say hello and thank you for this great application that let me watch my movie library on my LG TV in other room.
Now lets get started what do I have an issue with. It works, but it does not work "perfectly". I am not sure whether I missed some crucial steps in configuration or maybe I simply need to install KODI on TV (currently watching via UPNP/DLNA built in option, more about setup later), which I would prefer to avoid. The issue is that when I use my TV in "Kodi-PCnameHere / Photo and Video / Video Library / TV Shows" there is folder called "In Progress". And its always empty. No matter how many episodes or whole TV series I already watched.
Yesterday I tried to scroll through one random episode but this time using my PC on which KODI runs. After finishing "watching" the episode magically the series of which was this episode started to appear in "In Progress" section of my KODI. And this series now also appear on my TV. But why do I need to watch it directly on KODI server with KODI application to make the update?? Why does it not update automatically when I use my smart TV?
I would guess its something related with profile? Access rights maybe? Or is it simply "work as designed" for KODI And I simply cannot use all features of TV (even if they are there) if the client is UPNP/DLNA and not a KODI application? That would be kind of sad? So I do not want to believe in this and hence my post here.
Ok below are some of my specification. I guess they might come handy in the investigation?
KODI SERVER
================
system: Windows 7 x64 enterprise
memory: 16 gb
kodi application version: kodi-18.9-Leia-x64 (since yesterday, but earlier was 18.8 and earlier 18.5, always the same results)
skins etc: I dont use any skins nor plugins, I use pretty default features though I turned on some of them obviously
Settings / services: most of them activated (e.g. announce to other systems and all in upnp/dlna section)
But I guess my guisettings.xml will be more productive here than typing manually every single settings? So please feel free to browse through it.
TV SET
================
TV model: LG OLED65C8PLA
TV System: LG Webos (its kind of android but there is no google store and the LG store does NOT have KODI)
Client software: I use the TV built-in option to go through "Input" and there KODI-server that I run on my windows PC appears. So I go through there (UPNP/DLNA connection).
So what do you say? Why the "in progress" is not being updated when I watch it on my TV and how can it be fixed to finally start working?
