I only use it to browse and play video files

Kodi seems to want TV and Movies in different folders to collect info, or is there a way around this?

If you're looking for meta-data/artwork without much effort, choose Kodi and it's default skin. You will have to do two folders, one for TV and one for movies and it will be so much effort that normal humans will toss their cookies. That button. add source complication when you run Kodi should stop anyone dead, but alas millions have persevered and now enjoy the best Home Theatre any money could buy, with a money back guarantee!

oth: Most standalone video players offer the ability to open folders/files based on file-type (including Kodi), get yourself a FLIRC https://flirc.tv/ and you're done.
