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

[Sagi Ben-Akiva]

Hi,

Regarding libdvdcss, libdvdnav and libdvdread and
"Added unneeded return to switch statements in libdvdnav-master
 vmget.c to silence rpmlint errors."

I created a pull request in Kodi libdvdnav repo about a year ago but they
don't want to merge it.
https://github.com/xbmc/libdvdnav/pull/2

I also created a pull request in videolan :
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libdvdnav/issues/2
Can someone help in accepting them ?

I'm currently building Kodi 17.6 in my home repo with the latest fixes from
Dave (Thanks Dave, highly appreciated)
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/show/home:sagiben/kodi

Can someone with Tumbleweed check my build before I'm creating a pull
request ?

Thanks,
  Sagi.
