So, I've been a long user of Native Mode, and it seems like the devs wish to get rid of it. I'm not gonna rag on that, don't worry.
I use J4Kodi in my own customized Kodi skin that uses widgets and smart playlists. Kodi's handling of a giant video pool is annoying. I keep my media files organized in about six different folders, and use Smart Playlists on Kodi to determine what to show where. I've been using elements of the folder path in order to do that differentiation. Within Jellyfin, these are mirrored as separate libraries.
To move to the default server-side streaming, I'm not sure how I'd go about that doing that kind of filtering/separation. Is JF sending an infolabel that can be used? Can genre or tag labels (on each root library's metadata, not each piece of media's metadata) be seen in View_50 lists or widgets? I'm aware that individual tags/genres one would work, but I deal with an automated workflow here and I don't want to have to tag every new file as it comes in.
Ideas?
