@laichiaheng - kodi is bound to a specific version of ffmpeg which is generally older than Arch's package. We avoid incompatibilities by using that specific version (ie internal ffmpeg). Recommend that you build kodi in clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Thanks to BlackIkeEagle for all of the hard work, and long live Lenovsky!

All: if you use this package, please adopt it so others can continue to benefit.

I just disowned this, I don't have enough time to keep up with everything.

kodi-dev-git is part of this package, every time you install kodi-git makepkg will also build kodi-dev-git, which contains the files necessary for plugin development etc. The "dev" does not stand for "development version". It apparently is actively maintained since the maintainer keeps committing an updated version number every day, which is redundant since the pkgver function will update it anyway.

@raneon: I noticed that `wayland++-git` is orphaned, but there is `waylandpp` or `waylandpp-git`. Also, there are two (redundant?) packages kodi-git and kodi-dev-git. Is there a difference? Further, equests from April (@a36233, `rapidjson-git` -> `rapidjson`) as well as August (@kevku) have not been answered nor implemented by the package manager. Is this package still actively maintained?

Wayland has been merged to Kodi, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/12664. Can you enable Wayland in the build? Here is what I did to run Kodi natively on Wayland. Precondition: 1.) Make sure that wayland-protocols are installed 2.) Install from AUR `waylandpp` or `waylandpp-git` (thank you dschrempf, the old package wayland++-git is not available anymore) I had to add the 2 parameters DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland and DWAYLAND_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl: build() { cd "$_gitname" cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib \ -DENABLE_EVENTCLIENTS=ON \ -DLIRC_DEVICE=/run/lirc/lircd \ -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland \ -DWAYLAND_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl \ . make VERBOSE=1 make preinstall } So far Kodi on Wayland seems to run quite stable.

can you add provides kodi-dev to kodi-dev-git

@mrgame https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-addon-game-libretro-git/ Try it :D
