Hello, I have a problem with showing up files (Movies and Music) in the menu. I see them when I browse files folders in Kodi, but they aren't showing when I click on the Movies/Music menu. All of the files are in one folder (Movies/Music) in the home directory. From what I searched, there may be some problem with tagging, but I don't really want to retag all of the files, so is there some way to show them ? Thank you.

Do you mean you have your music and movies in the one folder? What is the Home Directory?

That applies to Music. Videos (Movies and TV Shows) do not need embedded file tagging.

I suggest you start here for video library... https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Create_Video_Library
and here for music library... https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Create_Music_Library

Probably choose one to start with, and once you have one working, move onto the next. Don't try to do both at the same time.
