It's kind of a never completely resolved problem upstream but kodi 19.0 keep crashing after a couple seconds when kodi is build with python 3.9. Same source code (presently kodi-19.0_alpha1_p20200920) built with python 3.8 works flawlessly, no crash. The only useful info I found is kodi seems to crash after ~/.kodi/addons/service.xbmc.versioncheck/resources/lib/runner.py python script ran successfully.

Found it. Seems Fedora mates got the same issue 3 weeks ago on F33 branch. Full story here. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=356701 I patched the build with this commit and kodi is back on track when compiled with python 3.9 https://github.com/fuzzard/xbmc/commit/ac4bd3527b2a12f157bedfe08bd19429a2174609
Issue fixed in media-tv/kodi-19.0_alpha2 Tested with dev-lang/python-3.9.0
Thank you!
