Using latest version of Kodi and Xenon Plus. When I go into Movies and click on search and then search by actor, I type in "Clint Eastwood" and only 17 shows/movies show up. Of that only 2 of the 17 are actual movies he's done. Not only that but it requires me to use umbrella addon in order to search for movies and then searches using umbrella. It used to be you click on your search result (i.e. Clint Eastwood) and it asks you if you want to search by movies, tv shows, cast, etc. It's not doing that.

Well, if you used Xenon Flavors and switched to Umbrella, then all shortcuts will use Umbrella.Switch back to Xenon Default if you want TMDBH.

The only thing that comes up when I click on flavors is the choice of TV shows, files, playlists, and video add-ons. And when I click on those I don't see anything that says default so I'm not sure how to do that. Could you give me a few tips on how I can do that?

Thank you very much. Now I have to figure out why that choice is not coming up for me. I don't get that dialogue when I click on flavors.

You know actually it's doing the same thing. When I scroll past the tab movies and past the tab TV shows, a dialogue comes up that says to use this feature you must download an add-on and then it says umbrella. And asks me if I'd like to download it. So there must be something else going on.

Hi, I noticed this aswell.
The Tv shows search function is linked to TMDBH but the movies search function is linked to Umbrella search.
I had to up the skin submenu to link to TMDBH

How did you do that? I've never fooled around with skins before.

For now, just search for Movies/Actors under TV Shows. It will give you an option to search for Movies.
