can't add videos from a missing directory? - jfabernathy - 2022-07-11
I have an Intel 11th gen NUC with Linux Mint Debian Edition 5 (Debian 11 Bullseye) installed. I installed Kodi 19.4 using the Software Manager and I chose the Flatpak version. It seems to work fine with Mythtv, but I tried to add Videos files that were in a directory that Mythtv user owns.
When I try to browse Root Filesystem while adding the video I do not see the directory that the videos are in. They are in /srv/mythtv/videos. I can't even see /srv which is not hidden and is owned by root.
Any ideas? Could this be a flatfak issue?

I guessed that flatpak maybe the issue and removed it and then used Software Manager to install the regular version of Kodi. This time I got 19.1 version but it showed all the directories I needed to add my videos and music to Kodi

Code:
sudo flatpak override tv.kodi.Kodi --filesystem=host
