Home folder showed as empty - merlu - 2024-03-11

Hello,

My ~/home/ folder is showed as empty in kodi file manager and i don't get why, there are some folders and files in it, but according kodi file manager, there is absolutly nothing.

This symptom might occur, if you have installed the flatpak version of Kodi. In this situation, Kodi is running in a sandbox.
You can grant access to the home folder with flatseal (gui) or with "flatpak override" command. Something similar like

Code:
sudo flatpak override --filesystem= /home/$USER/ tv.kodi.Kodi

The command you provided does nothing, except an error.

Code:
error: Unknown filesystem location , valid locations are: host, host-os, host-etc, home, xdg-*[/…], ~/dir, /dir

So i did it via GUI, and it worked.

Thanks.
