Kodi app on Chromecast 4th Generation thinks that the videos that are located on a USB stick are movies. USB stick contains only normal videos, not TV shows or movies. USB stick is connected to a Raspberry Pi 4 that is running LibreELEC and UPnP server. Server doesn't think that the videos on that USB stick are movies but the Chromecast 4th Generation thinks. Other video folders located on the server are considered as normal video folders by Chromecast but the USB stick folder is considered as a movie folder. I want the Chromecast to think that the USB stick folder is a normal video folder, not a movie folder. Where is the problem, what is causing it and how can it be fixed?

What do you mean Kodi thinks they're movies? Kodi only assigns a type when you tell it to.

I didn't choose a type and when I checked the type on server side it was set to none and when I checked a video file on Chromecasts Kodi it said "type: movie". Also the on the Chromecast side it doesn't show file extensions, but it does show file extension on server side. On Chromecast in folder view it says "Movies / Kodi (servername)" in top-left corner. When it's suppost to be "Videos / Kodi (servername)" and in player when playing a video it says in the top-left corner "videoname (2023)" Same "videoname (year)" appears when checking the video information on Chromecast side.

from what i can gather from your rambling is that Kodi is only on a raspberry pi not on the Chromecast
pi serves Chromecast via upnp and the upnp client is not Kodi on the Chromecast?

so why do you think Kodi can do anything about how Chromecast displays things?

if Kodi on Chromecast displays things strangely that might be something Kodi can control but when you throw in uPnP it's likely just the way things are with uPnP

why all the extra effort to have libreelec on Pi when the Chromecast is probably more capable than a raspberry pi?
