Description
Describe the bug
When going back after selecting "Go to program" from the context menu, Kodi doesn't go back to the recent/offline listing but ends up in Kodi's Videos window.
This appears to be a bug in Kodi rather than an add-on issue.
We use the ActivateWindow(window,dir,return) call which should bring you back to the originating listing when you go back.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to Recent items or Soon offline listing
- Select an episode and right-click, then choose Go to program
- In the program episode listing, go back
- Notice you end up in Kodi's Videos window
Expected behavior
Kodi should go back to the originating Recent items or Soon offline listing.
Additional context
- Operating system: LibreELEC v9.0.2
- Kodi version: v18.2
- Addon version: v2.2.0
- Using a VPN: no
- Country you are using the addon from: BE

Research direction
Start by locating the add-on code that invokes Kodi's ActivateWindow(window,dir,return) call for “Go to program,” then reproduce the navigation from the Recent items or Soon offline listing. Trace the return behavior and verify that going back from the program episode listing returns to the originating listing rather than Kodi's Videos window.
