I'm trying Kodi 19.3 on macOS 12.2 and running into a problem with external USB drives.
exFAT and Mac-formatted drives seem to work fine, but with an NTFS-formatted drive I cannot browse the content at all. It detects the drive and seems to access it, and after adding the source in File Manager I can see the top level folders but it won't let me browse within them.
If I browse the drive in Finder and do "Open With" and select Kodi, this also works fine, but I still cannot browse the volume within Kodi afterwards.
I have checked the Kodi app has access to removable volumes, and even tried with "Full disk access" in the macOS Security & Privacy settings.
I know macOS cannot natively write to NTFS drives, but reading should be ok, right?
