Here it goes: packages are currently building, it may be that i586 has
issues, which will be looked at later (cause they built in my private
repo).

If you did not subscribe to

  home:manfred-h:kodi-next

then please stop reading immediately!

If you did, you should have a look at

  https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/Multimedia/kodi
  https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/Multimedia/kodi.binary-addons

When your preferred target has been built, you should probably wait 6
to 12 hours depending how fast your Packman mirror synchronizes with
PMBS. Then:

  sudo zypper mr -d kodi-next.obs
  sudo zypper rr kodi-next.obs
  sudo zypper ref
  sudo zypper in --oldpackage -r "packman-multimedia.obs" kodi	\
  	$(rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' kodi.*)

In the above line replace "packman-multimedia.obs" with the name you use
for Packman's Multimedia repo (can be found out with "zypper lr -E").

In case all this does not work for you, just shout ;)

Have a great weekend!

Cheers.
