You might need to check the settings level on Kodi running in the Docker container.  By default Kodi has settings set to "standard" which hides a bunch of things.  My bet is on your Windows install you set it to Advanced or Expert.  In the web interface when you go to settings, check the ADVANCED OPTIONS in the WEB INTERFACE section.  There is a drop down for setting level that you can change.  That might expose those other settings.

yes, could be that as well Smile
Also, Linux settings are slightly different to Windows

In fact, at the beginning, I thought to delocate the movies scrapping to an "always-on" device.
This way, I don't have to wait for the box to scrap everything by itself (it can take some minutes) when Kodi is launched.

But as I can't find the same settings in your container, I secondly thought to use a "primary" device to scrape the collections and send the updated data to the Kodi container.

Maybe I am wrong in my reasoning?

I have another idea to configure a kodi from a Windows computer and when everything is done, copy the userdata folder to the container?

kodis web ui cant do everything. it cant set content etc for starters.
So often you do need to set it up on another client first and then copy the userdata

the readme even mentions this
https://github.com/matthuisman/docker-ko...pplication

"If you intend to use this kodi instance to perform library tasks other than merely updating, eg. library cleaning etc, it is important to copy over the sources.xml from the host machine that you performed the initial library scan on to the userdata folder of this instance, otherwise database loss can and most likely will occur."

Thanks for the clarification ;-)

Thank you for your suggestion but even with expert settings selected, some settings are missing Sad
I will follow the recommendation of Matthuisman and configure a regular Kodi and transfer the conf to the container ;-)
