Current Taglib version in LibreELEC Piers 13.0 nightlies, linked to MyMusicXX.db

**MikeKL** · October 14, 2026 at 1:20 PM

Is there a way to manually check the version of TagLib installed, in the LibreELEC 13.0 environment?

I have been following the improvements/developments of .mka/.mkv music tagging and wanted gain an improved understanding of which version of TagLib is being used to write relevant included tags in mkv/mkv to MyMusic84.db in Kodi V22 and LibreELEC 13. (to ensure comparing like to like)

As a Kodi user in both Windows and Rpi5, its not easy to understand if Kodi Piers RC environment and setups are aligned.

Especially true now that Kodi Master nightlies, although stated as V22 nightlies, once installed indicate Kodi v23... since Kodi v22 "Piers" RC1 was released. Along with MyMusic84.db bumped upto MyMusic85.db

Hope my query makes sense

LE13 has updated to taglib 2.3.2 about a month ago: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…glib/package.mk

Kodi 22.0-rc1 on Windows likely uses the bundled 2.3.1 version https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob…/TAGLIB-VERSION plus an additional patch https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob…nt-lookup.patch

Edit: there's a kodi PR to update taglib in master to 2.3.2 https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/29839 - but it's not flagged as "Backport needed" so might not land in kodi 22 / Piers

so long,

Hias

Thanks HiassofT for your review and explanation on current status between LE13 and Kodi 22.0-rc1
