Right way to install Kodi and plugins?

OK, I just moved to home-manager to be able to configure kodi and enable the web server.
Addons gets installed in the /nix/store folder, but I still don’t see any plugin in the kodi interface.

I’ve published my flake here, I’m using deploy-rs to push the setup to my htpc.

Here’s how I declare the plugins:

github.com

sanzoghenzo/my-pcs/blob/ca9f3e4623a8ff2b0f4369544b0202608c9b68a4/home/kodi/default.nix#L9-L20


      
          programs.kodi = {
            enable = true;
            package = pkgs.kodi-wayland.passthru.withPackages (kodiPkgs: with kodiPkgs; [
              trakt
              youtube # or invidious?
              netflix
              libretro
              inputstream-ffmpegdirect
              inputstream-adaptive
              pvr-iptvsimple
              jellycon
            ]);

looking at the kodi log, I can see that the addons folder is set to a non existing one:

info <general>: special://xbmcbinaddons/ is mapped to: /nix/store/dhxbrm5xrzz1rgcmc8fzx82qywmkxixx-kodi-20.5/lib/kodi/addons
...
error <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting /nix/store/dhxbrm5xrzz1rgcmc8fzx82qywmkxixx-kodi-20.5/lib/kodi/addons

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
