Hi
Unsure if you have found a solution but I figured I'd leave this for anyone else that is having the issue in the future.
I stumbled upon a fluke. This has been tested on 3 different Apple TV's so fairly confident it should work. It appears that if you install PlexKodiConnect and go through the set up then it will set the pathways for the Jellyfin for Kodi plug in to work. You will need a Plex account and possibly some sort of media in plex (I have not tested it without)
1. Install PlexKodiConnect https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect add https://croneter.github.io/pkc-source in file manager and install from zip and then from repository.
2. Let it install and once you get the notification that it has been installed wait for a pop up to tell you to 'restart Kodi now'
3. After closing / exiting and opening the application again wait for the next pop up to begin the set up process. I left everything default, nothing further to tweak and it will show a screen with a web link and a code to link the plug in to your plex account. Once everything is linked another pop up will advise that Kodi is restarting to apply all the changes, this isn't true you will have to wait 30 sec and then close / exit the application manually.
4. Once you have opened Kodi again another pop up should show with your plex account, you click on it and it will show all your media folders and ask which ones you would like to sync. If you are using the Estuary skin they are all highlighted in green, select each one by one until they are white so that you don't actually import anything.
5. Let the sync pop up show and then you can go and install the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin as normal. Once installed stay on the screen, I have found it takes about a minute at most for the jellyfin pop up to appear and show your local server, then just configure as preferred.
I am unsure what PKC does differently from Jellyfin that automatically knows where to look / set the paths. I'm hoping someone more well versed in Kodi may be able to figure it out but for the time being this long winded way works and now I have my entire library on Kodi and using Titan Bingie Mod it works pretty quick.
I have seen that there may be a fix in 20.3 for PVR but unsure if this will also fix the jellyfin plugin.
Hope this helps!
