tl;dr The latest Amber update in the Kodi repository breaks media playlists created by the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin (native mode). The problem does not occur when switching to the default Estuary skin.
Setup
- most recent Kodi from Google Play Store on nvidia shield; very vanilla set-up without any plugins besides Amber, Jellyfin for Kodi, and their dependencies
- Amber installed from official Kodi add-on repository and auto-updated to 3.2.120
- Jellyfin for Kodi from Jellyfin repo
- Jellyfin server 10.6.4-1 on Debian
- media is shared on a NAS via nfs, nfs path for each media file is imported via Jellyfin for Kodi set to "native mode": https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/client...ative-mode
Problem This setup worked fine for several months, up to and including last Friday. After that, Amber was apparently auto-updated, and now Kodi won't play any media from the media lists created by Jellyfin. Hitting play has no effect, nothing happens. The debug log shows that the nfs protocol is no longer recognized correctly, apparently due to some string quotation issues:
Fixes Switching to the Estuary skin, or playing the nfs media through the Kodi filebrowser. I couldn't roll back Amber to an earlier version, Kodi only shows one version in the repo.
