Dear Kodi community,
I am running Kodi 17.3 on a raspberry pi 3 with the Quartz skin. It all works as it should, apart from the music section: I am not able to navigate the folders, update the library, import a clean library or export the existing one. I think it happened when I added a folder with a lot of new music to the library which sits on a NAS - just like all other media. But, since then I am also not able to start music playback from files on a USB drive, or add a new folder to the library. Navigation via the web interface did work, but playback never started and after trying for a while, the interface looses connection. I tried to get an old, clean music library imported, but the result is that I have no music in there anymore, and no way of adding a folder because as soon I select "music", either from the home screen or via settings > media sources > music, it just freezes and not let me do anything but go back one step. I also tried to manually change the path names in the sources file on the user data folder, but all led to nothing. The skin was never the problem by the way, because the default skin also does not allow navigation in the music section, while at the same time navigation through movies and tv shows is no problem.
Before I do a complete overhaul of the system and tweak it to my liking, is there any solution or other way to fix the library?
If you need more information, please let me know, I would be super happy if this can be fixed without redoing everything!
