Recently I updated from OpenSUSE 13.2 to
Leap 42.1, and together KDE 4 to 5.4, but all of a sudden Kodi stopped
working. The symptom is that Kodi only shows the splash screen and then
force closes dumping a crash log.
If running from the commandline, usually it gives an error of
segmentation fault (sth. like below).

/usr/bin/kodi: line 168: 6211 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$LIBDIR/${bin_name}/${bin_name}.bin" $SAVED_ARGS
|
After digging into the crash log and googling around for a while I found
there are two major possible problems that leads to my case.
libcec not installed
This problem is easy to spot, since there is usually an error message in the crash log like below.

ERROR: Unable to load libcec.so.3.0, reason: libcec.so.3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Just install libcec3_0 from the main repo should work. Basically it
enables you to control Kodi through your TV remote, even if you don’t
really need it. (Notice there is also a libcec package which won’t solve
the problem.)

$sudo zypper in libcec3_0

ffmpeg with messed up dependencies
This one took me quite a while to figure out. It seems if you have
both the packman repo and official OpenSUSE repo, the dependencies of
ffmpeg can get messed up.
Solution is also easy, go to Yast and make sure all dependencies of
ffmpeg come from packman, if not, you may need to change vendor for
those packages.
For example, if you wanna use the ffmpeg package from the packman repo,
you can do the following.

$sudo zypper in --from packman ffmpeg
