Kodi flatpak crashes on startup

Hello Everybody,

Kodi (19.2-Matrix) flatpak from https://flathub.org/apps/details/tv.kodi.Kodi crashes on startup.

$ flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi
libva info: VA-API version 1.12.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/intel-vaapi-driver/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_12
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
/app/bin/kodi: line 187:     7 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ${KODI_BINARY} $SAVED_ARGS

Kodi (19.3-Matrix) debian package from official Team Kodi PPA works fine.
https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux

$ kodi
libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

Does anyone have got an idea what’s wrong with the flatpak?

Thanks in advance & best regards

Bug reports for the flatpak are more likely to be noticed when actually filed in the issue tracker of the flatpak

This is a known issue, workaround here: Kodi Flatpak crashes after about 15 sec of being opened.

Fix in next release.

The workaround doesn’t work for me. But thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for that information. I was not aware of that. I will create a new issue on GitHub.
