Patch in xbmc/xbmc#28958, which feeds the .i interface files straight to swig 4.5 instead of running the groovy code generator. That removes the only java user in the build, so the openjdk17 sdk extension and the groovy and apache commons downloads go with it. The PR is rebased onto our pinned commit; its base predates the xbmc.python 3.1.0 bump, so kodi_common.i now reports 3.1.1 to match the addon.xml version the PR sets. Drop the patch once it lands upstream.
Brings gcc 16.2, python 3.14, fmt 12.2 and taglib 2.3.1. Kodi master already pins python 3.14.6 and fmt 12.1, so nothing in the build needed adjusting for them. None of the elements 26.08 removed (glew, glog, qpdf, python3-pytz, python3-six) are used here; kodi renders with gles, so glew is not missed.
The module only existed because the 25.08 sdk shipped hwdata's pci.ids but not pnp.ids, which libdisplay-info reads at build time. 26.08 ships the full data set plus hwdata.pc, so libdisplay-info finds it there.
25.08 shipped 2.1.1, which is too old for kodi's Matroska music tag support, so we built 2.3.1 ourselves. 26.08 ships exactly 2.3.1, the version kodi pins in TAGLIB-VERSION. It comes back if kodi raises the floor again.
The runtime tracks dav1d closely and now carries 1.5.4, the version we pinned, so ffmpeg can link the runtime's libdav1d instead.
Stop building libheif and libde265 for this addon. 26.08 ships libheif 1.23.1 and gets its HEVC backend from the codecs-extra extension, which carries the libheif-libde265 plugin; the runtime's build looks for it at lib/<triplet>/codecs-extra/lib/libheif. AVIF also improves, as the runtime's libheif links aom and svt-av1 next to dav1d. The addon requires libde265 at configure time although it only ever includes libheif headers, so patch that requirement to be optional. Everywhere libde265 is present, as in kodi's own depends builds, the link line is unchanged.
26.08 ships nettle 4.0, which drops the digest length argument from the *_digest functions. librtmp's gnutls path still passes it, so rtmp.c fails to compile on md5_digest. Patch the three macro definitions to pick the right form via NETTLE_VERSION_MAJOR, keeping older nettle working. Upstream rtmpdump is dead, so this stays local.
