Although the issue remains I've got around it by changing the menu to display a playlist of movies not yet watched and this suits my needs. If I want a movie that I've partly watched I'll use the other movies menu. Thanks everyone for your help.

In Settings > Media > Library In the 'Video Library' section there's a 'Clean library' command which will get rid of those deleted items

Thanks I've ran that now. Just that these watched items are still appearing in recently added.

I'm afraid the problem is still there after making the previous changes. Hopefully the log I produced will provide some clues. Something I did notice is that movies that I delete from the drive are not automatically deleted from the library when I run 'scan video library' yet new movies are added to the libary without any issue.

I've acted on the advice from Klojum and removed indigo. I've also removed docker and produced a fresh log.

There is still a souvenir of a piracy add-on active on your setup. Better remove it first as such things can disrupt Kodi's core functionality.

You also run a Docker setup. It wouldn't be the first time that database data is 'misinterpreted'. I have no Docker experience with Kodi, so others will have to step in here.

On top of that, Kodi 18 is a previous major version for which there will be no further updates.

Thanks very much for this. I shall act on all that.

I have uploaded my log file to

Any help with the issue I have would be appreciated.

Please find attached screenshots showing what I see.

I also selected the menu option to upload latest logs and configs. It gave this link but nothing shows up when I view it http://IX.IO/3GL9

Hmm.. I just tested a very basic Kodi setup with Estuary, and a movie in the Recently added movie list, disappeared from that list after having it 'watched'. In the traditional ways as well as setting the movie as 'watched', it will remove itself from the Recently added list.

I wish mine would do that. The box is in use at the moment but I'll get a screenshot to show the problem later.

Test again with Kodi's default/system skin, Estuary.

Thanks - I'll try that. Yes just tried that and the watched movies show there too.

mattIV Kodi is no multi-task OS. Media playback is the primary task by design. Use a regular OS, if you need background music.

Yes I suppose it is multi tasking - looking through a menu of movies deciding what to watch while music is playing in the background but I think the hardware (Pi4B) can cope with it.

You can play an audio file and start browsing the list, but it's not an automated thing. You would need to file a feature request in Kodi forums to see what response it gets from core devs. Sounds horrible to me

Thanks chewitt. I had a piece of music in mind which is a fan version of the theme for Escape from New York. When on a menu in arcade games I remember sounds/music being played

Hi,

I wondered if anyone had come across an issue where recently added content such as movies didn't actually disappear from the list despite being watched. This is something that has always happened to me. I use LibreElec v9.2.6, Skin Amber v3.2.13. I already have 'show watched items in recent shelves' set to no. I even tried changing it to yes and back to no again to see if it made any difference but it didn't. I've seen posts with people having the complete opposite issue where people wanted seen items to stay but nothing really matching the issue I have. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matt.

Hi.

I think it would be great if LibreElec could play a music file while browsing the movie list and wondered if it was currently possible to do that.

Linux is not Android (thankfully) and the answer given in post #2 is still the correct answer

When contrast and brightness are displayed correctly on everything except the device running LibreElec then the solution needs to come from LibreElec. It's pointless trying to correct anything else.

The EXT4 filesystem and content of the SSD should be auto mounted by the kernel and visible under /var/media/<name/UUID of SSD> ?

Fantastic. The drive content is indeed there. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks for your message. I'll look there the next time I get chance to check it.

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2TB SSD drive and a SDHC card. I have a setup where I can boot from the SSD (without SDHC card) directly into Libreelec which accesses the media content on that same SSD drive without any problems.

However I also have a separate SDHC card with the same version of Libreelec which I use for testing and for if I have any problems booting the SSD. Whichever I use they both access the media/storage content that is based on the SSD drive. I just have one little issue accessing the media content when booting from the SDHC. The only way I can currently get it to see the media content is by using Samba which means using the IP address assigned to the Pi 4. This is ok unless I move the Pi 4 to a different location were it uses a different IP address. I was wondering if there was a way Libreelec could access the media content on the SSD when booting from the SDHC without having to use an IP address.

Thanks in advance.

Matt.

Just use chorus for that..

Thanks for your message. This would appear to be the solution to the issue thanks!

Plus since setting Libreelec back to 4K with the intention to use Chorus for those things vnc also now displays the screen correctly to and is no longer black - very strange that but I'm glad.

Matt.
