OK Maybe I figures out the confusing acpest of adding paths?
Select "New Path" and enter the name for the library location the path ill be for (ie. Movies), press OK
Scroll down to Windows Network (SMB) and navigate to the shared network location (ie. \\\MediaServer\Movies), press Ok.
Continue for all paths to be linked.
Select Finish.
That seems to be correct? It at least populates the data.json file with those network path lines. Now the issue is Kodi is not giving the option to add libraries and when navigating within the add-on to add libraries the only option given is ALL. If I select ALL and click ok, nothing happens. Nothing scans. The library does not populate. If I quit Kodi and open it again I'm asked to again select Naitive or Add-on mode, then confirm the path replacements and then nothing. And navigating the app to add libraries still results in nothing.
Stuck without a working Kodi library still, despite possibly having figured some part of it out?
Even tried downgrading the add-on. Same results. Kodi sees the JF server, logs into the proper account, add the paths as I believe needed, then nothing. No add libraries, no manual adding libraries, just nothing. Broken.
On my laptop using Add-on mode, JF is currently updating the library without issues (ssemingly). But nothing I dowith naitive mode works to add any libraries.
