Penultimate version of the android TV app (recent update was very minor so I did not bother).
You are using Kodi, which I believe somehow makes use of that share network path. I do not want to use Kodi on my Zidoo... just too many moving parts. I used to use Kodi on my shield pro.
It's very simply... I have a NAS that runs Jellyfin, and I have a larger more basic NAS with a lot more storage. Playing from that external nas is where the unnecessary routing comes in.
Using anything but 'External player' on my Zidoo Z9x is not an option, as the enture point of my having that device is to use it's most excellent Dolby Vision VS10 player for everything... hence why I no longer use my shield for streaming my mkv files.
In your case your media files are probably all stored on your Jellyfin server, right? Mine are not.
My proposed suggestion would help me, and likely many others also.
