kodi segmentatin fault

Just for everyone experiencing the same problem:

the upgrade of tinyxml2 from 2025-03-09 lead to kodi exiting with a segmentation fault. A downgrade

downgrading package tinyxml2 (10.1.0-1 => 10.0.0-1)

resolved this issue.

Re: kodi segmentatin fault

Thanks for sharing.

How have you been able to track down the solution that fast? The logs, coredump and my lack of experience haven't helped much in identifying the library. I installed gdb but using it for debugging obviously is a different story.

Anyway, kodi 21.2-6 seems to fix the problem, kodi's version history doesn't mention it: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/releases
