Manage Path Replacement???

[KodiUser1138]

Rebuilt my server onto a stand-alone PC, got it up and running and for the most part set agiain properly, go to ensure Kodi is working fine and nope. Back to square one. Nothing works. No manually editing the data.json, no entering anything when the add-on requests information that isn't made clear, no options within the add-on to manage libraries, add or what ever. Constant fails. This all after deleting all add-on data, removing the add-on insstall and re-downloading to attempt to start from scratch. Just back to nothing works. Frustrated again. Even copying the info fomr the previous working data.json fails, even before making edits to it to reflect the new server set-up. As an example, not reflective of the post above, this is what the path in the old data.json looks like

"/mnt/ => smb/HTPC1/Movies": "/mnt/ => smb/HTPC1/Movies",

And that doesn't work now. Let alone adding the new path to the main server location. But this is what was in the file when it was working.Even just updating these paths with the old "working" install failed. Can't get into the add-on options to even attempt to add/delete/repair any libraries. Just total complete nothing. Like death.
