Research direction
Start with srcpkgs/kodi/template and srcpkgs/kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick/template, comparing the Kodi Omega 21.2 package with the add-on's available upstream version. Check the related issue #53872 for packaging context, then build and install both packages and verify that the joystick add-on can be enabled in Kodi without a compatibility error.

Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.12.67_1 armv7l Unknown uptodate rr
Package(s) Affected
kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick-1.7.1_2
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
Installing both kodi and kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick should allow the Joystick add-on to be enabled in Kodi and allow gamepads to function.
Updates to Kodi often render these add-ons incompatible, so their versions must be synced in the Void repositories in order for them to continue working. The version of Kodi is quite up to date, as it's on Omega 21.2 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/kodi/template However, the kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick package in the Void repositories has not been updated in years, and is stuck at Matrix 1.7.1 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick/template
We've had a similar issue with the kodi-addon-inputstream-adaptive package (see #53872).
Actual behaviour
After installing both of these packages, an error message appears in Kodi saying that the peripheral joystick addon has been disable because it is not compatible with this version of Kodi.
Steps to reproduce
- Install both relevant packages:
sudo xbps-install kodi kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick - Launch kodi and try to enable the addon.
