Could you try to get a backtrace from Kodi? Either via a coredump or by running Kodi under gdb (which will be quite slow)?
Created attachment 916004 [details] kodi crash log containing a gdb stack trace
So ffmpeg-6.1.2 backported https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b586ff27683af11315f3e637c08e0ec0a07d9f35 which assumes avctx cannot be NULL. The assumption is right in the 7 branch as the following change is applied there https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/d9f1b321cf58a85518d29c5a3d220d67b1a68b92. This change does not exist on 6.1.2 meaning it segfaults.
Missing commit backported to 6.1 branch https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b1baad4a5ffcbc932f242f27165bb329782b4375
