Kodi seems no longer able to access the file system of my Android 11 Box (Nokia 8010).
Yesterday everything worked fine. Today the box prompted that Kodi would need permissions for the filesystem (which it already had, and no Android update or such seems to have ocurred overnight), and I noticed that Kodi app's data size suddenly was very small, just like after a first install).
Deleted and reinstalled it (my preferred version is 20.3, but also tried with 20.5, and also the current 21 version both via Appstore and Sideload).
During first install I allowed file system access, although when checking the app details afterwards it does not seem to have stuck. So I allowed it again via the file settings. This might take some tries and checks, finally the permission seems to be represented in all related settings (app permissions and special app access).
But Kodi does not create the usual file structure during it's first run! The kodi folder on the Android device stays empty. adblink file manager no longer shows folders or files inside /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files. So there are no log files available, also.
