I want to update my Music library every 15 minutes and put in
*/15 * * * *
But Kodi keeps saying that this is incorrect.
What is wrong?

Just wondering... What is the point in doing that? Are you adding new material to your music collection that often?
With 15 minutes there could be not time left for other tasks when the collection gets big enough.

I add music all the time. Server is very powerful.
It should not take that long to check for updates. And yes 2+ TB of music. But why isn't my cron accepted?

The 15 minute cron format seems okay.
Are you indeed still using Kodi v15? If so, using which OS ?
Because crons are a OS system-running thing, and Kodi is just another application.
Unless there is some add-on involved...
(Which would be nice if you had mentioned that earlier)

OOps. Kodi 18.7. It is the Library auto update addon that gives the problem. I am on OpenSUSE LEAP 15.2

Okay.. I'm not using that add-on myself. Perhaps some of the others can step in and shed some light.
Is there anything mentioned in Kodi's debug log (wiki) regarding the cron being activated?
