I've found a different problem situation: I first applied the downgrade of libdrm-amdgpu1 2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 to 2.4.95-1ubuntu1~18.04.1, on the first launch of a newly installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 without any of the 400 updates packages available. This way I got package Kodi working.
Now, after I update everything to the latest version, with libdrm- amdgpu1 as well, I can no longer downgrade it. If I force it, the system will crash. I've figured that the removal of mesa-vdpau-drivers (which also removes vdpau-driver-all) gets kodi running normally again, even with VDPAU activated on settings/player. So that's the new solution for kodi's bug. If I downgrade mesa-vdpau-drivers_19.0.2-1ubuntu1.1~18.04.1_amd64.deb mesa-vdpau-drivers_18.2.8-0ubuntu0~18.10.2_amd64.deb kodi still won't run, only removing mesa-vdpau-drivers. This package didn't receive any update since 18.04.1 and had always been working. I detected that the only packages required for kodi that received upgrades is libllvm8 (has no issues) and libdrm-amdgpu1, giving me the conclusion that the bug really is with libdrm-amdgpu1. Trying your advices with mesa-vdpau-drivers installed: Yes, the currently installed version of libgl1-mesa-dri is 19.0.2. Installing the repo didn't work sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates The following packages will be upgraded: libegl-mesa0 libegl1-mesa libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa libglx-mesa0 libwayland-egl1-mesa libxatracker2 mesa-va-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers kodi's bug still remains. I've also heard from a 19.04 user that kodi runs, maybe it's a bug caused with some hardware models or to 18.04 specific. Is that correct? sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge I tried it and still nothing man. Once again, kodi will only run with the removal of mesa-vdpau-drivers.

I've found the cause, and a temporary solution: This bug was caused after an update for the latest version of libdrm- amdgpu1 2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 So I grabbed the previous version from https://mirror.transip.net/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/libd/libdrm/ installed libdrm-amdgpu1_2.4.95-1~18.04.1_amd64.deb and now Kodi returns. I created a bug report, the problem affects multiple users. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kodi/+bug/1836828 We have a PointRelease coming soon, would we have time to fix this package?
