@Stovies Glad to hear that you got it working. Let me know if you need any assistance with the old trivia packs.

@Stovies I have sort of been able to create the screen you are seeing. It is unable to load the defaults. The only difference is that when that happens to me there is a popup that asks to create a new or load the defaults. Please go into the PSE settings and pick a different folder for the content, click "update content" and then click "ok." Don't put any content into those folders yet; just go to the sequence editor and see if you have the same results. That should at least narrow it down to whether it is an issue the content or not.

Modifying this has been on my to-do list for a long time. My goal is to make it so that a user can edit their own order. But for now tags have been moved up the priority list so that the other genres don't have to be edited out. Here is the previous priority order type ratings year studio director actor genre tags dates And here is the updated priority order type ratings tags year studio director actor genre dates This will be in the next update.

I have talked to @Reelyator about this. It's on my to-do list. Zidoo boxes have their own players and have forked kodi as zdmc to make it compatible.

I think I have this fixed. If so, it will be in the next version.

@StoviesThe Auto Select button isn't showing up, which I am a bit stumped about. I don't think your content folder should have anything to do with this. This shouldn't even need that to work.

That's the same setup that I have. I just tested it again and didn't see anything out of place. Can you confirm that you've restarted Kodi after installing PSE? I've seen Kodi not read a skin variable on an initial install, but that gets resolved after a restart.

I haven't had this issue with my Shield. @garzilla sent me screen shots of his Shield and I can see the buttons highlighted. @StoviesWhat year Shield are you using, 2015 or 2019? Are you use Kodi 19 or 20?

PSE is 19.5 compatible. I just tried it and was able to install it without issue. Sometimes a dependency won't transfer properly at a certain time, which I think is an issue with the Kodi servers. I'll provide links to the dependencies when I get a chance so that people can manually download them if this happens. @Greg KinneyCan you try to install it again?

As is always inevitable in software, we are back with a new release of Kodi 20.x "Nexus". An assortment of bug fixes, some backports, no real new features. Full changelog since 20.0 on Github, as usual. Release notes Audio @fritsch has been working feverishly on Android-related audio issues over the past couple of months, and in combination with @thexai has introduced an algorithm to look to overcome some audio issues particularly aimed at Android devices. A summary is: Algorithm runs for 30 seconds to learn what is going on: during this time no corrections are done, but the internal m_disconAdjustTimeMs is updated to a new value whenever when the sync error is found to increase. After 30 seconds the learning stops and the final m_disconAdjustTimeMs is set as: m_disconAdjustTimeMs * 1.15 + 5.0. With firmware specialities for AudioTrack Write behaviour now kind of "well known" the systematic issue can be worked around easily. This helps users on affected system to not have to create an advancedsettings.xml for a manual fix. DVD Playback of DVD folder structures over network sources (e.g. SMB/NFS/HTTP, etc.) has been fixed. Filesystems A fix in Samba was made that "corrected" a long-standing assumption - it turns out that documentation doesn't always match code implementation. We now handle both the old Samba implementation and the new "correct" implementation. Further improvements to the new NFS4 implementation have been made by @thexai . This fixes stalls/errors and brings some performance improvements to our NFS implementation. Game/Retroplayer Assorted fixes to the new Savestate Manager to improve usability. Thanks to @KOPRajs for reporting, and also providing the PR to fix the issues found. An assortment of OSD improvements by @garbear resolving further issues reported by @KOPRajs. A number of performance improvements (memory reads, faster dialogs/savestates). Input fixes have been made that allow resetting multitap controller inputs, as well as fixing an issue around "ignored" input buttons not being saved. Sync of some of the common controller types has been made game.controller.default game.controller.keyboard game.controller.mouse game.controller.snes General Fixes various overflows when using new chrono infrastructure. This fixes "keep audio device alive" when passthrough is used with an AVR. A number of fixes by @ksooo that aim to fix regressions regarding context menu items/behaviour. A fix for an issue on 32-bit systems that affected the sorting of items. Thanks @vpeter4. Fixes regarding the rework of the Favourites window have been addressed. This returns behaviour found in v19 for the following: Support actions up/down plus key mapping for u and d keys. Support action delete plus key mapping for delete key. Change keymaps to open the Favourites Browser window instead of the Favourites dialog as currently. A fix by a returning team member (@CrystalP) that resolves crashes due to Unicode characters. Platform Specific Android Fix packaging regression that affected some parts of the Python PyCryptodome module. Windows A fix was made to address an issue where some less-than-usual dimension videos were causing AMD systems to fallback to software decoding instead of using DXVA. A packaging issues on Windows platforms meant that Chorus was unable to be used. A fix was found by @CrystalP, so users wanting to access Chorus from a Windows host can now rejoice. PVR A fix to resolve PVR Channel Groups to correctly show channels ordered as provided by a PVR backend. Python A bump of cPython to 3.11.2 was made to fix an upstream issue with the ElementTree binary module. This fixes crashes on Android when an installed addon uses the common ElementTree Python module. Subtitles A regression was fixed regarding Right to Left language subtitles placing punctuation incorrectly. It turns out that @CastagnaIT's implementation was too correct, and an informal standard adopted by subtitle creators to place punctuation in Left to Right positions in Right to Left subtitles was worked around. A couple of fixes for WebVTT subtitles were made to resolve overlapping of segments. Line spacing has been altered in our use of libass to avoid overlapping of text boxes. UPnP @enen92 has made a number of improvements and fixes when Kodi is being used as a UPnP server. He has fixed a number of regressions around listings and artwork. Thanks, as always, to everyone who has helped us track down and fix any issues. We endeavour to minimise the issues everyone experiences, but with such a large project, and the fact everyone contributing to Kodi is a volunteer, issues and bugs are a part of life. if you happen to experience any bugs/issues, don't hesitate to reach out on the forums, or raise an issue on Github. As this is a point release, there are no major changes since the previous version, and you should be fine to install this straight over the top of any existing Kodi 20.x installation - indeed, this will happen automatically on many platforms. However, as for all software installations, back up your userdata beforehand if you've any doubts or have anything you can't afford to lose (and definitely do this if you're going for a major version upgrade). A list of all changes for this version can be found at GitHub. If you want to read back on the full history of v20 itself, or of previous versions, you can find the corresponding articles in the relevant blog posts. Application deployment on different platforms (notably the Microsoft Store) can vary considerably due to circumstances outside of our control, so just be patient, and the update will inevitably find its way through. Android Deployment We always do whats known as a "staged" deployment roll out for Android. So if you don't receive the update immediately, be patient, as it will come through over the next week.

I am going to set up and do some testing on my Shield this weekend. I'll write up details on how to do it.

I can explain specifically how the audio bumper is determined and what the issue is. Kodi uses FFmpeg to analyze movie streams. Below are the DTS & Dolby codecs, including the codes that get returned and what that's translated to in english. dts -> DTS dca -> DTS dtsma -> DTS-HD Master Audio dtshd_ma -> DTS-HD Master Audio dtshd_hra -> DTS-HD Master Audio dtshr -> DTS-HD Master Audio ac3 -> Dolby Digital eac3 -> Dolby Digital Plus a_truehd -> Dolby TrueHD truehd -> Dolby TrueHD The problem is that FFmpeg doesn't know the difference between TrueHD and Atmos or DTS-HD and DTS-X. So there's specific code that looks to see if it is Dolby TrueHD and then checks to see if the word Atmos is in the file name. If so, it reports it as Atmos. The same process is true for DTS-HD & DTS-X. Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos has been added to our test build. If there aren't any issues, this will be included in our next version. As of right now, I'm not sure what else we can do to get it to show correctly for those files. We've talked about reading from an .nfo file, but that still requires the person to do additional work or have a different type of setup.
