Have you considered combining your source folders into a custom Library? The Library will contain pointers to your source folders, and you can then mount it as a source in Kodi. This might prove more lucid than I: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8811...-10-a.html

YThe issue only happens when the source points to two locations. Every other sources i have work normally. If this is a skin issue, could someone link this thread to the arctic zephyr reloaded creators please? I don't really know where to find their bug report. 

I'm also going to test the source using a different skin, to see if there's any issues there.

You are trying to add sources to the menu within the skin Zephyr Reloaded I imagine using Library Node Editor which isn't skin specific on some skins these are nodes on others widgets on another shelves

 

But it's when it comes to adding the source into the global list of menu items that I get the issue. (I.E: the choices you see on the side in the normal skin. I'm using Zephyr Reloaded so they are instead on the bottom and I can pretty much change all of them out to just the stuff I want to see.

So, the issue starts with the linking of the source so the menu, where.. when I pick it with just one path, the only option is see is 'create from here' Whereas with two path, I see that option(and i usually pick it cause it's the one I want) but also a list of other folders under it that are the anime folders. And it's usually under this specific situation that the source fails to do anything, and I have to completely re-do it.

If you are doing something, it fails - switch on logging, reproduce error and upload logfile (cut&paste) to https://paste.kodi.tv/ post the link here

I don't understand node editor enough to use it. And I've turned on logging but I don't know if it caught anything because the program does not crash, it just fails to produce a result. Here's the log pastebin: https://paste.kodi.tv/gitahufufe.kodi

And from my other tests, it seems the culprit has to do with 'Multipath' as a function.

I'll let the experts look at this though I did notice Kodi is on C: and M:, skin.arctic.zephyr .mod not skin.arctic.zephyr.mod ?

I just installed the 1.1.59 version of zephyr, since i went to check for updates to see if that would fix it. the UPnP service is on manual. Kodi is installed on M. App Data is still on C.

I'm on windows 7

Just a quick note: I do have multiple folders designated in one source; specifically comedy & laffs are in two separate folders designated as 'Comedy' and both scan well with Matrix. Looking at your log: "CUtil::GetMatchingSource: no matching source found for [multipath://M%3a%5cVideos%5cAnimes%20(Jap)%5c/P%3a%5cVideos%5cAnimes%20(Jap)%5c/)"

Might be good to check sources.xml to see what you have.
e.g.
<source>
            <name>Comedy</name>
            <path pathversion="1">W:\Movies\Comedy\</path>
            <path pathversion="1">W:\Movies\Laffs\</path>
            <thumbnail pathversion="1">W:\Movies\Comedy\comedy.png</thumbnail>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

In my log I don't see the multipath negative statement, and scanning transpires in both folders; I would hate to point at odd ball chr$, skins or script.embuary but this feature does work for me.

found two source.xml on my C folder. One of them has all of the sources, the other, somehow, doesn't have any of the japanese ones. 

        <source>
            <name>Animes (Jap)</name>
            <path pathversion="1">M:\Videos\Animes (Jap)\</path>
            <path pathversion="1">P:\Videos\Animes (Jap)\</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>

that is what i got. Your difference seems ot be that both are on the same drive. 

also checked the ones on my M drive, and none of them include any of my sources. I'm guessing app-data is the main location for the settings.

[ShadoUrufu]

I don't understand what's going wrong with the source though, I'm doing the same I do for the single-path ones. 
Library > Video > Add Video > Browse > Select Path A > Add > Select Path B
Directory Contains: TV Shows
Information Provider: Xem 

The only difference for my working anime sources, is that I only pick one path. I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong. 
Looking into the source itself, I can clearly see all of the anime I'm supposed to have in it.

I've seen past issues with split sources on multiple drives, that's why I recommended a single source for each work-around. I do have quite a few multi-path sources, but I make an effort to keep them on the same drive. Drives have different spin up and ready times which likely accounts for broken flow. You'll just have to be a little more flexible with your storage.

I purposely kept mine simple as I use hot-swappable drives

Yeah. I'm as flexible as I can be though. I'm using a 2TB eHDD for my documents stuff, 5TB eHDD for my media, 2TB HDD inside the machine for games,250gb SSD for windows, and the 1TB eHDD for the rest. 

I can't fit all of the jap anime on the 1TB, there's an extra 70GB worth that just doesn't fit on it. 

Also, the 1TB is attached to a power supply, and has an on-off switch. I don't exactly want to use that for my documents either. It's the largest of the 3 drives. I could, but I don't want to, because i link all of my important windows files to an eHDD. It's a preventive security measure in case windows crash. I'm gonna have to go and back up my appdata settings again soon, unless i could like that ot an eHDD as well.
