Kodi still plays via SMB/NFS when configured in direct play mode. Only the metadata is provided via Jellyfin and play progress is synced to Jellyfin.

The Jellyfin plugin is not the most stable piece of software but it gets the job done.

I switched to Jellycon that doesn’t integrate with the Kodi library, but rather acts like other basic Kodi add-ons. You can still browse the Jellyfin library through the add-on in Kodi, and through the Kore app by navigating to add-ons > Jellycon > Content tab, though I mostly initiate media playback from the Jellyfin app on Android. Direct play works too.

I tried Jellycon briefly when I started but it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t integrate into the Kodi UI properly, so there’s no way to really use the Kodi interface nicely without casting from the Jellyfin app. It more or less just becomes a playback client for the Jellyfin app. If the Jellyfin app wouldn’t be such a disaster when casting I probably would be fine with that.

Might try it again in the future but the Jellyfin app experience is nothing like what Kore or Yatse can do directly with Kodi.
