Yes, obviously. There's only two ways to share metadata between Jellyfin and Kodi:
* One of them retrieves metadata from providers, writes it to nfo files (and images/subtitles/etc) alongside the media, the other can read it
* Use one of our Kodi addons (jellyfin-kodi or jellycon) to display Jellyfin contents inside of Kodi.
You're running two completely different systems with completely different metadata storage methods and varying overlap in metadata providers. Of course they're not going to share and wind up with different data.
Our docs are very clear about what files get imported into Jellyfin and how to name them. A completely separate metadata directory is very much not supported. It has to be alongside your media files.
