Kodi with MariaDB issues

[Nathan Taylor]

Hi team,
I am running the Jellyfin Kodi add-on but have recently added some addons to Kodi that require the mariadb library sharing.  As soon as I add the server details to advancedsettings.xml in Kodi, my entire JF library disappears.  I initally checked on the Kodi forums but they told me to check here if anyone knew of a fix to this issue.  It would make my setup 99.99% perfect

Any help/guidancce is appreciated

This isn't supported, and is not likely to ever be supported.  Jellyfin for Kodi interfaces directly with the sqlite library in vanilla Kodi.  It's meant to replace a shared MariaDB setup, not work in tandem with it.  The Jellyfin server is your shared backend now.  Changing this would be an immense amount of rework, a complete second instance of sql code, as well as changing the sync code so all Kodi clients don't try to synchronize the same content.  For the roughly 3 people who would make use of such a feature.  Basically, no.  Sorry.
