Kodi integration media broken

ok, I have tried EVERYTHING to get the images to show up in the media section for Kodi and it just does not happen.
I’ve set up an internal and external URL using duck dns
I’ve tried navigating through https and http, no difference
I’ve tried all browsers that i know of…the only one that yeilds spotty results is firefox…all the rest of the browsers (Edge, Vivaldi, Chrome) produce no images whatsoever
I’ve chased the Devs…no response.
I’ve asked on the discord forums, was made fun of inadvertently once, and the second time wasn’t responded too at all.
Needless to say…I would like to see this working, but it just doesn’t. The kodi widget works just fine. But nothing for the media library or playlists. Does ANYONE know of a way that this can be fixed? The web interface of Kodi works just fine and all images display correct in Kodi and the web interface. The common denominator is Home Assistant. Also images do not display on the companion app. I’ve seen this problem brought up more than one around the internet…but no working solutions for it whatsoever.

Here is what i get …just no images loading up whatsoever
