Kodi 20.5 Python issues on Arch - HydroDiOxide - 2024-05-02
Kodi keeps crashing after some updates. Any way to fix this?
Here is the crashlog: https://paste.kodi.tv/ninazacumi.kodi.
This is what I get when trying to start from a terminal:
Code:

]

So I fixed the issue with a Python rollback to 3.11 (the recent update was 3.12), but is there a way to run Kodi 20.5 with Python 3.12 installed?

Kodi on Arch is on version 21.0 (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/kodi/). You can't stay on 20.5 and still update the rest of the system.

I'm aware of that, but I'm kind of holding back 21 because my favourite skin is not supported (yet). I'm looking into a different one though.

You'll have to build 20.5 against the contemporary package set including python3.12
EDIT: actually it seems that 20.5-2 was built against python3.12. Is this the version you have installed?
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/kodi/-/commit/0e09a063fd59d070e7fbdb8e72844a70ca9f7709
You can download it from ALA:

Thanks for providing the links. I'll download to see if it works.
Update: that didn't work. Kodi is now 20.5-2 and Python 3.12.3. When launched, Kodi crashes immediately.

Depending on the nature of the crash, you might need to rebuild it yourself. You did not provide any helpful debugging info
