kodi v21 flatpak/linux fails to launch/exec, ERROR: "'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:62 do_unlock()"

i've read _old_ pipewire/pulseaudio issues @ GH; unclear if related here, or new v21/flatpak issue.
is this a known issue? an available workaround/fix? or, new?

The recursion error is not critical. Your problem is this:

So it looks like you are having some kind of permission problem. This is just a shot into the dark, but does adding your user to the render or video group make a difference?

So it looks like you are having some kind of permission problem. This is just a shot into the dark, but does adding your user to the render or video group make a difference?

user already is in both groups,

Code:

video:x:39:sddm,pgavk
render:x:998:pgavk

fwiw, kodi 20.5 -- installed from either distro rpm or flatpak -- launches/operates ok here. no issues.

searching on the "CDRMUtils::InitDrm - failed to authorize drm magic: Permission denied" error, these pop up

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/18245
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/20280

those don't seem _directly_ related, but have some overlap

i'm digging into @lrusak 's comments further ...

loaded up Flatseal, noticed perms for Kodi v21 Flatpak were _OFF_ for

• X11 windowing system
  
• Fallback to X11 windowing system
  

toggling both -> ON solves the launch issue

Code:

flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi
    'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:62 do_unlock()
    libva info: VA-API version 1.18.0

    libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_18
    libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

, kodi v21's opened/functional at UI ...

fyi, @ Flatseal, on clean-install:
