Extra empty poster thumbnails at end of library, how to remove? #377

Description:

When running Plex for Kodi addon, viewing my roughly 1200 local movies sorted alphabetically in poster view, after the last movie ("Zulu"), I get a ton of (I'd guesstimate about 100-200) empty posters that just show the gray symbol of a single film frame. They have no title, clicking on them does nothing, can't see what's causing them. I also have 7 of these extra empty posters in my TV section of about 100 shows.

If I switch to the non-poster view (where you have the text list of movies on the right and only the single poster for the selected movie on the left), I get similar corresponding empty lines at the end, after "Z" movies.

Getting this when running Plex for Kodi 0.3.4 on PC, Minix Android and Coreelec. Do NOT get this when running Plex directly, on any client.

None of my movies appear to be missing or unrecognized - all movies I actually have in my library appear with a proper poster as far as I can tell, these blank posters are just... extra, tacked on to the end of my libraries. I keep my folders nice and organized, there shouldn't be any stray unrecognized files generating these empty folders lying around - certainly not the many dozens - I'd estimate about 100 - in my movie section or the 7 in the tv section. And even if it was unrecognized files, they should at least have the name of the file as a title. These empty posters/entries have no title at all.

I would like to simply ignore them, except they are causing the alphabetical search on the right hand of the screen - where you can click "S" and it instantly goes to "S" movies - to be completely skewed. If I have "Zulu" highlighted on the screen, my alphabet search on the right side thinks that it's on the "R"s. If I click any letter after "R", I just get a screen full of the empty posters.

I'm hoping there's just some setting I'm unaware of that is set wrong and making these appear, but if it is such a setting, it's on by default apparently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched through both open and closed issues regarding this and couldn't find anything.
