Use search function to know that NG and whole CE-21 is not under development anymore.
And where is 21.3 Final, is it even coming?
Ask at Kodi?
From what I read on git they are still on the fence about it
Here is the response from the Kodi forum: We are not planning on one. v22 Alpha 2 will be the next release in a couple of weeks as soon as a couple of PR’s are merged.
What’s that about? First, the 21.3 should be finalised, and then something new should be started.
This is why CE-NG is EOL. TK ist done with Kodi 21.
So the nightly build from 2 October 2025 is the last one?
Here’s the log in hopes that this issue gets fixed: https://paste.coreelec.org/LockingSkippy

I tried this command which is not in coreelec:-sh: cd-info: command not found
Freedb is out. Local cddb would be better than nothing or this https://gnudb.org/, but need registration.
As default was set now nonfuctional freedb server. https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#cddbaddress
you need to use
cdda
VLC uses this protocol (or access module) to read data from a device or network. Usage: cdda://device@track
The module name to use at the command line is cdda, but you can also use cddasimple.
For Ubuntu, use vlc cdda:///dev/sr0
In ending CD is going play, but after 5 minutes of freezing.
