Native Mode Kodi Add-On

[KodiUser1138]

IF all the drives containing your bedia are individual then yes you can use the small partition drives as mounting folders and set up things that way.

I'd suggest simplifying your media management to making the paths simple to follow on the network. Once that is sorted then pointing JF to the main folder for each is fairly simple and then that gets pushed out to Kodi.

For all your parent/kids stuff is similar to my Movies/concerts and TV shows/AEW. TV shows and AEW are seperate libraries in JF and then in Kodi and handled in different ways (partly due to custom skinning). For each I have a partition on my main server SSD with a folder that the elsewhere networked drives for each mount to. In JF I only have 1 TV Shows network folder but that folder has 11 hard drives mapped to it which each contain folders for individual TV shows.

I have one JF network folder for AEW and that in turn has 1 hard drive mapped to it which holds folders for each AEW show.

They key for me is separating things to different physical hard drives, not using RAID storage. I don't need redundancy (offsite back-ups) so all JF sees is one network folder per library (usually) and on the back end I can add and remove sub folders/mounted drives there. And then JF just pushes each library to Kodi easy peasy.

Everyone will do things different and part of it is figuring out what works for your setrup, future expansion, and work flow in adding/editing media. I'm at the point where I've got mine working awesome and just running out of physical space on drives and places to add new ones!
