I was under the impression that this was going to stay in for some time still, as quite a few people use the «native» mode in jf4kodi, which depends on this.
There's some discussion after the removal from the UI here #11654
I do not think this is a good idea.
Well it seems like this path is only used for kodi clients and nowhere else, which means we can have some mitigations if we still want to support the native mode:
To have this path in the server as part of the library setting is hard to maintain and make it hard to implement proper path handling for both the server and clients other than kodi. |
Kodi native mode, mpv shim, and iirc at least one third party client, but I don't remember which one. We all hate native mode and it's basically unsupported on the kodi side, but there are unfortunately some circumstances where it does work better (BDMV playback and vobsub subtitles both immediately spring to mind). However, removing it basically just brings it in line with other clients instead of having special oddball treatment. |
Although removed in 10.9 we forgot to remove some references to the old network path support. This caused the server to still send these paths in specific cases.
