Subject covers it.
Not sure what's going on, I've tried Kodi 14.0 (original launch) and Kodi 14.1 Feb 5'th bug fix edition
I've added M:\MP3 at least a dozen times, each time I re-open the application, it's forgotten that I have a folder configured in the Music folder and need to re-add it.

I'm doing this from within the Music section I'm choosing "Add music" what am I doing wrong?
debug log (wiki)

and sources.xml from %appdata%/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/ would be helpful.

14.0 or 14.1 "testing edition" for major crash bug.
Note: Sources.XML is not read only.
Anyone got any suggestions, this is beginning to get frustrating (sorry!)
Why aren't you trying to scan the files into the library?
I do not want them in the library. I only want to manually browse through.
The media content is far too messy, broken tags, bad names, atrocious folder structure.

I simply don't want the entry to disappear which it shouldn't be.
Just tried, I had the exact opposite results as you. Everything worked fine with me.
Cool, that's why the debug log and sources.xml was provided. Something must be broken somewhere and regardless if it's not impacting all users, there's clearly a small bug going on here.

Shouldn't that be kodi? Do you have write access to that share?

I appreciate your reply, you were right, my fault.
It was a hardcoded "remapping" of the sources file. If I recall, I did this, so I could simply copy my entire Kodi profile from one workstation to another and carry on using the app, with existing library configuration, etc - even down to the thumbnails. I had a routine job setup to synchronise the folder from one machine to another.
(I use an MySQL config)


This hard mapping is now fixed and it's working fine, I really appreciate it, title updated to reflect my oops. Hope this may help someone else with advancedsettings.xml mistakes keyed in and confuses them.
