i have upgraded from kodi 18 to kodi 19 on a RPi4b.
On LE kodi 18, I installed RoonBridge and that was working well: via Airplay, and also via Hdmi. In the latter case audio was mixed with any playing audio via kodi.
On LE kodi 19, RoonBridge no longer works with Airplay, nor via HdMi. An USB-dac and the audio jack do still work.
The use case is to use the Rpi4b to play either movies via Kodi, or audio via RoonBridge. The DNLA option to play audio via Kodi is not stable, and Airplay is nice and stable but low quality audio.
I suspect in LE kodi 19, both Airplay and HDMI audio are now exclusive to kodi, cannot be used by other apps on the RPi4. It would be nice to know how to fix this for users who know how too ssh into LE and adjust it. Or, even better, allow RoonBridge to work, like in LE 18.
