Edit by Croneter:

See the post below for a really quick solution!

And here the original issue:

I am using LibreElec 9.0.1 Generic.x86_64 that has Kodi Leia 18.1. PKC version is 2.7.10. I am trying to use the Pellucid skin, 2.1.0.

I have PKC setup and syncing to my PMS. I am trying to setup my action for the Movies menu item. From the skin setings, I navigate to Menus-->Edit home menu. I select Movies and then the Change action option. In the "Choose Item For Menu" dialog, I select Add-on-->Video add-on-->PlexKodiConnect-->Movies-->Movies option. I exit the skin settings.

From the main menu, I select Movies. I then see a screen that says: 0% Scanning Media Information Loading media information from files... videodb://movies/titles/?xsp%7b%22or

This menu goes away, and then in the list of movies, I have a number instead of the movie title.

If I navigate to Addons-->PlexKodiConnect-->Movies-->Movies, I get the listings of movies that I would expect.

I have also tried this with the Titan-MOD and Embuary skins, both with the same issues.

Add-on-->Video add-on-->PlexKodiConnect-->Movies-->Movies (More...)-->All Movies-->Create menu item here

That will give you a proper list of your movies

Yeah, I get that, but croneter posted this over on the plex.tv forum:

The More... video node for libraries basically mirrors the different Plex views of a library. These nodes are a bit slower to load since the PMS needs to be contacted (most other nodes are directly “assembled” by Kodi and thus a bit faster).

So this node not working seems like a reasonable issue.

I figured it out. For some reason PKC or skinshortcuts is adding node as a music node, it looks like this image When it should look like this image 2 ways you can fix this. First way is the easiest, when adding the node scroll to the bottom and you'll see Custom item > when you hit that you'll get a window like this image Just change the Music to Videos Second way is to go into Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts and find skin.YOUR-SKIN-mainmenu.DATA.xml and edit it there
