Simple one?
I cannot find any information on actually running Kodi. Even their Wiki
seems to skip that step. I did find this, but the result is below:
https://www.ipv6.rs/tutorial/Alpine_Linux_Latest/Kodi/
$ kodi
'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:62
do_unlock() ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
This is a basic install on Raspberry Pi (plus Kodi of course!). Any
ideas?
Ian.

Thank you! Which Alpine version are you running, edge or v3.21?
For edge I opened
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/82912
which should fix this issue. Let me know if I should backport it aswell
to stable.
Hi, thanks for replying!
I am running Alpine 3.21 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. (I was thinking of
installing lightdm in case there are missing X bits, but that would
negate the minimal install & I would then have to do it again from from
scratch!)
It is a basic setup-alpine install, plus zram-init and Kodi.
Cheers,
Ian.
Pardon, forgot to add . . .
That would really be appreciated (unless there is a new release of
Alpine coming very soon), if you are sure it is the same problem. I have
looked at the solution and it doesn't mean anything to me ;)
Cheers,
Ian.

Yeah, that's because the mentioned merge request isn't merged yet.
I opened another MR now to backport the fix now to 3.21:
