Hi Johan! cdatetime-std-chrono patches fix the issue where too narrow representation of timepoints made Kodi unusable if a media item referenced a date before 1902. This patchset is not yet merged upstream, but will be in 20.0~alpha2.
Christian's deb-multimedia builds dont have most patches I added for Kodi from Debian so their users still experience the bug, to my knowledge. Let me quickly reproduce an issue and issue a test build for you.
