Movies do not appear on CoreELEC Nightly starting 20240109 cont.

Continuation from https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-hdr-info-pa...1#pid13111

More or less for documentation purposes, pretty sure the issue is with Kodi itself

last thing i checked were the comparisons between MyVideos128 and MyVideos129
something failed to transfer over internally on Kodi when it upgraded that database version
the videoversion and videoversiontype tables are empty on the second but present in the first and the jellyfin addon isn't even aware of that table currently so no way it modified it

result "movie_view" in the kodi db does not return any records on 129 but still works in 128
kodi uses that view to display anything in it's ui so nothing gets displayed

expect this to be fixed in kodi upstream, for now as a hack workaround 129 has been replaced with 128 but no idea what the full scope or long term affects are


-----

edit:

found a better fix
simply removing the MyVideos129 (while MyVideos128 is still present and kodi is stopped from systemctl) then starting kodi again
kodi has redone it's 128->129 migration and it seems to be working fine again

Thanks for having a quick look at this.

I had a quick go at the workaround you listed, & it did appear to work, although no new Movies seemed to be getting picked up and added for me afterwards.  So still think something "odd" is going on.

Removed both old and new DB and then Movies was empty again just as before.

Lets just hope it's a bug thats been caused for now.

Still haven't found any better way to get a nightly running on my main dev workstation. I was able to get Kodi 21-beta2 working by going through flatpak, but still haven't been able to successfully build nightly. So I can now confirm that things are working as expected in beta2, but we already knew that. Gonna need to find one of my other devices, or maybe go through a VM.

Sorry, but I may be getting the wrong end of the stick here, but if running Windows would it now just be a case of downloading the nightlies via https://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/windows/win64/master/

Again I maybe misunderstanding here.

I'm not running windows.  I haven't ran windows on any of my devices in probably 10 years.  I'm running arch linux, which team kodi doesn't publish a nightly package for.  That's why I need to either find one of my Pis or run a VM so I can actually install one of the nightly packages

Completely understand now, cheers for explaining :-)

there was acknowledgement by team-kodi of "A" (singular) issue with database upgrading on nightly versions, whether or not it pertains to this subject is uncertain but it is compelling

Hello,

just updated Kodi from 21 beta 2 to beta 3 and now I get the same issue:

Jellyfin extension seems to identify all movies when updating the media library, but movies sections stays empty.
TV shows section and music is not impacted however.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Kodi, but same result

[mcarlton00]

The addon hasn't been updated to reflect the database changes in newer versions of Kodi yet. As far as I'm aware, the last compatible version was 21 beta2

[mcarlton00]

Just updating here as well, I believe I've narrowed down what changes need to take place, however since I still can't get Kodi 21 to build in any sort of reasonable way I can't actually test the required changes and I'd be devving blind.

Current status can be found in the github issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kod...1960666033
