What I have done:
- Flashed new image (latest from april 30) and started Pi4
- Then staging repo activated, here I had to find that the last image build run unfortunately the xbian-package-repo from the devel repo was used, which is stupidly wrong. So already comes the message that a distribution upgrade to Bullseye is available.
Furthermore the URL mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt for staging and devel repo in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list is not correct, it should be http://apt.xbian.org. I already fixed this here
- Stopped Kodi
- Then sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to install latest xbian-package-xbmc built from built tonight
- started Kodi ... everything is ok
- finally, poweroff Pi4 and start it again, Kodi starts normally, no problem visible

So it would be nice if you could also install and test the xbian-package-xbmc from the staging repo.

This process allows me to upgrade and boot to Kodi, however I lose certain settings in Display and Audio. Possibly other settings have gone, but these are the two areas I noticed.

In Display, the whitelist, and calibrate display among others aren't there.
In Audio, Audio Passthrough doesn't appear after the upgrade. The heading is there, but there's no option to turn it on, and the "capable amp" settings aren't there either.

I took the plunge and upgraded, all seems OK.

With regards to the above observations:-
- All Audio passthru settings seem to be correct and configurable
- Whitelist optons are greyed out, but as I never changed these settings I cannot say if they were greyed before.

My Output is set to PI:HDMI and I do have an edited edid.dat and config.txt to force outputs so I'm not sure if this changes the way Kodi has chosen to enable options.

Update - I also booted from the image I downloaded over the weekend and the settings appear no different from this latest version.
