This adds a backport of
a6dedce7ba
to Kodi 19.4 Matrix. This can be removed once a new release of Kodi comes
out and we upgrade to it.
What's nice about this approach is that it doesn't special case
webinterface.default. I've never actually tried using a non-default web
interface with Kodi, but I bet it wouldn't have worked before this
change, and I think it would work after this change =)
See and
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/152675#issuecomment-1003442175 and
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=366338&pid=3079493 for some
discussion about this approach.
Kodi refuses to follow symlinks that lead outside of a small whitelist
of allowed directories. See
[`CFileUtils::CheckFileAccessAllowed`](4ac445c4a9/xbmc/utils/FileUtils.cpp (L252))
for the relevant code.
This feels like a pretty brittle workaround, but I can't think of a
better solution, so I'm going to say that this fixes
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/145116.
