No Pipewire Sound Server in kodi 21



Hello,

I have read that kodi 21 should now support native Pipewire, but it doesn’t for me. My base system is Ubuntu 24.04 using the kodi Flatpak package. In all my scenarios “pipewire”, “pipewire-bin” and “wireplumber” packages are installed.

  • If I only add “pipewire-alsa” package kodi starts using ALSA.
  • If I add “pipewire-pulse” package kodi start using PulseAudio.
  • If I force kodi into PipeWire using “KODI_AE_SINK=PIPEWIRE” I get “Error – no devices found”. https://dpaste.com/GQSD9E42V

Any ideas?
