It seems as though the "other" in "little other", or "little other the-time", could be a reference to a time "other" than the time of his physical appearance. Most likely his appearances after the resurrection, the short time when he made various appearances to the disciples and the women at the site of the tomb, etc.
It seems highly probably that this was the time being discussed in John 16:16-22. A time when pain and sorrow (the time of the coming crucifixion), is turned to joy (when he appears after the crucifixion).
