Does a default video node path even exist for Android?

I'm sure it does, but I've always just been lazy and copied the files off of my computer, since they're the same for all platforms ;)
Still, I'll try to add the Android path today.

Which you can only access if you have root.
If you don't have root I don't know if Kodi will pick it up if you a /library to
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/system
Which is were is looks like it should be since not all systems have access to /data/data/

If Video nodes have already been created on a Windows pc then just copy them across to the Userdata folder on the Android device.

It should only be needed as an easy way to copy the original files. All user modifications should still be done on
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/library/
If non-rooted boxes can't access the original path externally, to make a copy, it is possible to access and copy it via Kodi's
file manager (wiki) by making a source for "special://xbmc" and then copying it to
"profile directory" -> library

Oh and as both I and Ned have pointed out, you should never ever edit the System/Library files unless you want to risk completely borking your Kodi install, all Video/Music node changes should be done in the Userdata directory.
