    I have been using Kodi for years and decided to see if I could migrate to Jellyfin on the backend and Kodi on the front end.

    Installed the Jellyfin for Kodi-on and worked well. Then I noticed some libraries were missing.

    I thought every library in Jellyfin would automatically be picked up into Kodi with the addon.

    I have six libraries in total with a few libraries comprised of more than one NAS folder location.

    Ironically, two of the three libraries missing are plugged directly into the NAS where Jellyfin is running. They are hooked by USB and show up in Jellyfin itself. The other folder is on a NAS network share just like the other libraries that do show up.

    All these libraries do show up in every Jellyfin client. So it is just the Jellyfin for Kodi addon that isn't linking them in my Kodi android app.

    I am not really sure where to being trouble-shooting this problem.

    If you are running Kodi in "Native mode", my understanding is that Kodi will be accessing the media directly and not through Jellyfin. Which means that things Jellyfin has access to may not directly translate to the Kodi client having access.

    Our docs recommend Add-on mode.
