I am hoping that at least Rick is able to read this posting..

Kodi 21.0 (Omega) is here and boy does it have that “fresh car smell.” Users will
find many improvements in this release, as well as new features that make Kodi
even more impressive.

You’ll find newly minted support for FFmpeg 6.0, NFSv4, AVI image support, read-
ing and writing M3UB playlists, libdisplay-info, HDR10 for Xbox, DXVA2 AVI1 hard-
ware 8/10-bit video decoding on Windows, Video Super Resolution (for NVIDIA RTX/
Intel Arch), Windows 11 refresh rate switching, it’s own implementation of the ping
utility, support for .ttc fonts, and initial support for webOS 4 devices.

There have also been a number of changes added to this new release, such as
better PipeWire support, AudioEngine improvements, the ability for Linux users
to select their desired audio back end, improved VAAPI VP9 Profile 2 playback
support, channel group sorting for PVR, better UPnP support for smart TV appli-
cations, improved thumbnails, audio sink improvements for webOS support, and
much more.

You can read the official release notes on this lengthy Kodi GitHub page
(https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/releases/tag/21.0-Omega) and download the latest
version for Windows, Linux, Android, Raspberry Pi, macOS, iOS, tvOS, and webOS
from the Kodi download page (https://kodi.tv/download/ ).

Sounds like a great version to add to your RPI (4 or 5)..
