I had Kodi 21 running on Mint. I changed the hard disk from spin type to SSD. I re-installed Mint and then Kodi 21 from flatpak. When I open Kodi, it juist flsahes as if it is going to opne and then nothing - This is the error I get-

flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=kodi tv.kodi.Kodi
'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:63 do_unlock()
libva info: VA-API version 1.19.0
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

Crash report available at /home/mariusvdw/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/kodi_crashlog-20240620_074615.log

I cannot find this log either.

I looks like a problem with the pipwire audio.
Someone here had the same problem, maybe you can try this: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/25311

Oh sorry, it seems they did not really provide a solution.
Maybe you can try to switch to pulse audio, and see if that fixes the problem?

PipeWire isn't involved here, the 'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:63 do_unlock() is just from the check if PipeWire should be used and is harmless. By default PipeWire isn't available with Flatpak right now. The problem is likely with VAAPI, it crashes either inside VAAPI or Kodi receives data it doesn't expect and crashes as a result of that. But to be sure a debug log (see https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file) is needed. It should be located in /home/<user>/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/temp/kodi.log
