[packman] Kodi doesn't play videos with latest ffmpeg

[Andrei Dziahel]

Hi Sagi,

Unfortunately latest kodi RPM requires libva-x11.so.1()(64bit) thus
being uninstallable to regular (well, my) Tumbleweed.

In the meantime, could you take a look at attempt (unsuccessful so
far) to build kodi with Kodi-compatible patched ffmpeg at
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/show/home:develop7:branches:Multimedia/kodi?

Thank you in advance.
