Well since there is no earlier version of ffmpeg at RPMFusion to downgrade to and no other kodi rpm available for fedora other than rpmfusion, I will just have to wait this out I guess...

I'm pretty sure it won't magically fix itself. Distro packages are often broken due to "external libs only" and not taking into account which lib versions are needed by some applications.

Same problem with Kodi 17.6 on Fedora 28. Is it possible to configure Kodi to use internal codec instead of system from RPMFusion repository?

I can't really spare time to compile kodi and go through all of that.. Have you guys thought about using AppImage? That would solve all compatibility and distro / dependencies problems..

appimage is dead. Flatpak and Snap both have their own issues.
If you want vanilla kodi without having to compile it, use ubuntu, which we provide official packages for.

Hi, Kodi maintainer for RPMFusion here.
I've tried Kodi 17.6 against ffmpeg 3.4 and the audio distortion persists. My gut feeling is that this is a gcc 8 issue. When I have time to debug further I will do so, but my time at the moment is limited.
