Update: I found the problem: file permissions. The missing files where -rw------- instead of -rw-r--r--.
I have all my music on a WD MyCloud, which is added in LibreElec as a NFS drive.
Several of my music albums are missing. For example, for Hank Mobley Kodi only shows 8 albums while I have 14, which are all in the same directory (artist/album). All the files are rips form my CD's, mostly in Ogg Vorbis.
It seems for some reason Kodi does not recognize some of the vorbis files as music files. When I browse through the files section to the directory of a 'missing' album, I can see the files, but can not start playing them.
The files have the same permissions and also very similar metadata:
This is an example which is not recognized:

When I try to play one of the unrecognized tracks through the files section I see the following appear in kodi.log
