Manage Path Replacement???

[KodiUser1138]

For native, how does JF now manage the library? Does JF tell Kodi there's new/changed media at xxx location but expects Kodi to go looking for that info directly through the file paths? What I lvoed about JF in Kodi previous was I didn't have to worry about any of that and everything just worked.

Exactly the same as it always has.  Nothing has changed here.  All metadata comes through the JF server and it notifies clients when there's new media to be found.

So now I need to enter every drive path from the JF server into Kodi? Or am I still missing some step here?

Lastly, I've never been able to simply "repair" a library, especially TV Shows, when I just want to refresh some artwork or resolve some other issue. It always had to be repair which required removing the entire library and then rescraping the entire library. Is that the expected action? 

The "Refresh" option is exactly what it sounds like.  It runs the sync code to get recent items based on the last access timestamp.  A "Repair" ensures that your local copy matches what the server has by redoing everything in that library.

I should clarify, I have been able to access these options in the past. For the past 6 months, at least, I have not been able to so I've had to do a complete remove and replace of all the JF settings and library DB in order to "fix" things. Once I do the initial set-up the option to even see the added libraries let alone manage any just doesn't work (empty clicks).
