Kodi with MariaDB issues - Nathan Taylor - 2023-09-03
Hi team,
I am running the Jellyfin Kodi add-on but have recently added some addons to Kodi that require the mariadb library sharing. As soon as I add the server details to advancedsettings.xml in Kodi, my entire JF library disappears. I initally checked on the Kodi forums but they told me to check here if anyone knew of a fix to this issue. It would make my setup 99.99% perfect
Any help/guidancce is appreciated

This isn't supported, and is not likely to ever be supported. Jellyfin for Kodi interfaces directly with the sqlite library in vanilla Kodi. It's meant to replace a shared MariaDB setup, not work in tandem with it. The Jellyfin server is your shared backend now. Changing this would be an immense amount of rework, a complete second instance of sql code, as well as changing the sync code so all Kodi clients don't try to synchronize the same content. For the roughly 3 people who would make use of such a feature. Basically, no. Sorry.
