Bug#1004612: kodi: FTBFS with ffmpeg 5.0
P.S.
I have several reports on Kodi forums about DVD playback issues requiring the patched FFMPEG for Kodi.
I have an idea since the last year: what if I modify Kodi patchsets for libdvdread, libdvdnav and ffmpeg
to use "#ifdef KODI_BUILD" guard and extend the respective d/control files with a new set if packages,
like "libavformat58-kodi" ? Surely the build process of every package will produce two sets of binary
packages (one set for Kodi and one set for other dependees), but the benefit of such approach is
centralized maintainability as we don't have to apply same CVE fixes to multiple embedded copies
of the same libdvdread, libdvdnav and ffmpeg releases.
What do you think? If you have no principal "no-go", I can make the PoC and push it to my personal
Salsa space for your review.--
