Moin, let me ask one question first: did kodi-21 from Packman work for you at all? If so, when did the problem start?
Please find further stuff below.

I asked you to go to https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues and click on "New issue" in which you describe your current problem. As I don't have that problem, I cannot do it for you. Note, if you don't already have a Github account, you must create one before. > Do you understand what your proposal is?

Nope, the if [ ... ] means: 1. /usr/bin/pulseaudio is installed 2. /usr/bin/pipewire is installed 3. /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse is NOT installed If all three items are true, we will not get any sound unless we explicitly force kodi to use "--audio-backend=pulseaudio". If one item is not true, we don't force anything. BTW, if kodi-21 worked for you once, but not now, you could remve the "if [ ... ] fi" statement above from the /usr/bin/kodi script (lines 193 to 200) and test again, please. This was the only change in kodi-21.0-1699.3.pm.1.x86_64. If it still crashes, the reason is something else caused by your concrete installation. Another test would be to start with Kodi's default settings. For this you should move your existing configuration to a safe place, followed by starting kodi to see if that works or still crashes: $ mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi.save $ kodi $ rm -rf ~/.kodi; mv ~/.kodi.save ~/.kodi > Naturally, this switch is only for the API, and sound is played via > pipewire. > > Furthermore, can't you understand that kodi built with the > -DENABLE_PIPEWIRE=OFF switch does the same thing as kodi start up with > the pulseaudio API enabled (ie., --audio-backend=pulseaudio)? Of course, I do understand that.

Yes, that's what I found after installing a new Leap 15.5 system. > It still works, but installing pulseaudio instead of > pipewire-pulseaudio is not in line with the basic idea of pipewire > development, is it? I'm not a pipewire developer, so I don't know. I just try to figure out, what needs to be done to make kodi work on both Tumbleweed and Leap. > What about Tumbleweed, which updates like nothing leap has ever seen, > and is still on pipewire-pulseaudio? Tumbleweed at least has pipewire-pulseaudio-1.0.5-1.1.x86_64 installed on my system. > More to the point, the maintainer(s?) of pipewire in both Leap and > Tumbleweed should be the same person(s?).
