Thanks for the reply. Jellfin Addon is currently set to "Native (direct paths)". But both have the same problem.
As for mapping: I don't really want to map any drives, and doing so would mean changing the library sources in Jellyfin, which would effectively render all my playlists useless. I've already had them break down couple of times.
Currently, in Jellyfin Library, I only have one path on the upper line, in \\server\sharedfolder\folder format. I also had the 2nd path set to an NFS path, since that is what my other players use for direct play. But... that brings me to another thing:
Today I did further troubleshooting, and was able to playback some titles and some not. Looking at the logs, I saw that with those that work, the playback path is shown as SMB path. For those where playback fails, the path is NFS path.
It's only Jellyfin addon that presents this behavior.
If I take the same movie, add an SMB folder into Kodi directly, say via SMB, it will play it back via external player.
I am completely at a loss why it would choose to play some titles over NFS and some over SMB.
