    Just tried this addon for Kodi and experienced the same issue between Windows 11 and LibreELEC except I've been unable to resolve it in LibreELEC.

    Basically I install the addon, add the server and supply my creds.  I select the libraries to sync (addon mode) and this chugs away with no errors reported.  I then go to browse the sync'd library in the main kodi menu and it shows zero items.  In Windows 11 I solved this by completely clearing the kodi data folder so it was a clean install and reset up the addon and then everything worked.

    With LibreELEC I've done all the same except only 2 of my 3 Jellyfin libraries work.  My main movies library syncs with zero errors but Kodi doesn't show any content.  If I remove the library via the addon the library shows as "(dynamic)" and I can browse and play content from here no issues, though it is slow to list the available content.

    In terms of the kodi.log I cannot find anything to help and I've had debug logging enabled via the addon settings.  I can see the json metadata streaming into the kodi.log for all the library content so the addon is definately seeing the content but it still doesn't work.

    My Jellyfin server is a docker container and I've no issue with this via a browser, mobile or Android clients.  The only difference between the Windows 11 and LibreELEC are host hardware with LibreELEC running on a Minisforum S100.

    I'd appreciate any tshoot suggestions, any specific log lines to look for and well really anyone with expereince here.

    FWIW my movies library is only like 1100.

    Thanks

    My memory is kind of shot but I know JF for Kodi made a change that requires setting up another level of access (totally blanking on the name) and I never did fully understand it but somehow got it to work. Hang in there and search the forum and my posts and that might help you find the path. It works great (when it works) but was a PITA to get going when the change happened. Sorry I'm knind of vague at the moment and not at home to be able to dig deeper.
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Collection content rules: Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Collection organized by Library
    Collections scanned to editable XML
    Media info show added Collection
    Soundtrack auto link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Read Music Album Sort
