I’ve made a fork of Jellyfin for Kodi that adds support for Kodi’s native Video Versions feature for movies. The option is off by default and can be enabled in the settings.
It works in both Native and Add-on modes, but Native mode is cleanest (and it previously didn't have any way to select a version). The Kodi version select pops up (unless set to play default version), and the movie info updates correctly when switching between versions. Add-on mode still works, but you’ll get an extra version selection prompt and the metadata doesn’t update automatically.
This also fixes labeling for single-version movies that aren’t standard cuts (for example, Director’s Cut), so they show up correctly in Kodi.
Everything appears to be fully functional, but I’d appreciate feedback before I submit a pull request to the main repo, especially on edge cases or code quality. I’m also looking into extending this to support native Extras, and I’m open to thoughts on whether that should be a separate setting or combined with Versions.
