Description:
Kodi dies seconds after launch. Console output:

libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
/usr/bin/kodi: line 186: 17913 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ${KODI_BINARY} $SAVED_ARGS

Crash report attached, though nothing much is in it.

Uninstalling the owner of /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so doesn't help.
Deleting ~/.kodi and starting again doesn't help

* package version(s) 19.4-2

Steps to reproduce:
Start kodi from the app menu or from a terminal window.
kodi-standalone run from a virtual console does not do this. But doesn't respond to the keyboard or the mouse either, so isn't much use.
This task depends upon

What is the video chipset ? If it's an old chipset, you can try mesa-amber package.

Iris Plus Graphics 640 (KabyLake GT3e). Same problem with TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]. Nothing else has graphics problems.

The problem is (again) with latest python update(3.10.4-1)
Downgrading to python 3.10.2-1 fixes the problem

I also have "Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics 640" and downgrading python makes Kodi usable again

System upgrade fixed it. Looks like something wasn't keeping up with something. File under quality control and close, I suppose.
