Expected behaviour

Kodi or X starting, be able to watch movies with sound.

Actual behaviour

After successfully applying the update/upgrade to latest verison 9.9 after a 2 week abscence from home during xmas/NYE I got a error from Pipewire in yellow and red colour at boot. Normally Kodi executes as a non root user but after upgrade is stopped at prompt.
I read about the error message online and got a solutions to reinstall Pipewire.
The error message disappeared and I can start Kodi (or desktop LXDE) BUT… whenever sound or moving pictures is involved everything freezes after a few seconds.

I do not know how to fix this.
Update is the only change I have don on the system which has been workign perfectly for a long time.

I restored a backup to be able to recreate the Pipewire error message that I originally got after the upgrade to 9.9. Anyone got some ideas? Seems to be a problem with Pipewire. I cannot execute Kodi not even on root account.
Error message as follows (in red and yellow line onscreen):

I’m not an expert on Kodi or Pipewire. I was just searching the web. Seems other have similar error messages using Pipewire.

Some fixed it by switching to pulseaudio https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=429103
Others installed some client libraries [cosmetic] warning if pipewire not active · Issue #11790 · mpv-player/mpv · GitHub

Thanks for your answer. I have found similiar articles so I have tried uninstalling Pipewire before posting here in the first place but some info that you provided were new to me. I tried the following:

apt purge pipewire pipewire-bin
apt install pulseaudio
systemctl enable --user pulseaudio (this particular command does not work at all on my rpi4)
sudo reboot

The yellow/red Pipewire error at boot went away. However Kodi (set to autostart at boot on a nonroot user) does not start up but is giving
"ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting"

So back to square one. And I DO NOT understand why this happened after a reboot. I have changed nothing in my setup.
I also wanna add that my LXDE desktop is working perfectly.

can you share the full log while trying to start kodi manually

FnarG · 20 January 2025 19:44

Do you mean with “startkodi”??

Always getting the exact same error no mater if I start manually or automatic at boot.
Can I get more info from any complete logfile?

This is the errors from $HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log after a manual start from CLI:

Joulinar · 23 January 2025 22:37

Pls copy error messages from SSH terminal and add the log file. If possible avoid doing screen prints

FnarG · 24 January 2025 11:57

I am sorry. SSH just says “ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting” on any account when started manually or automatic.
Here is the log file:

Any ideas anyone? Would be very grateful
Forgot to say that Kodi cannot be started from inside LXDE either.
Tried reinstalling Pipewire and uninstall it. Same with conflict with Pulseaudio, a solution i found online but same results, checked that the displaydrivers are working. It seems they are. X/LXDE working perfectly.

I SOLVED IT!

When I installed Moonlight Streaming client something must have changed the way Kodi uses the graphics subsystem. I went into dietpi-config and checked under “display options”. There I saw that “18 : RPi Codecs : [On] V4L2 hardware video codecs” was ON. I tried to switch it off and reboot and VOILÁ, it all worked.

The pipewire error message is still there however but it does not affect anything it seems.
