You may want to make it an option, either during build live or in the PKGBUILD, to select using GL or GLES.
Using GBM, I believe HDR would only work with this instead of gl:
-DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles
I have already submitted this adjustment as a pull request to the official package as well. It doesn't seem to change any of the experience or functionality, however reading around it seems gles provides more to kodi now than gl, which is funny since gl is more "full fat." @graysky
Can someone confirm that r64676.37865f4ab50-1 is Kodi Omega Beta 2, so I can open an issue to Chaotic-AUR to update their r64614.38b7bcef9c9-1 that gives Kodi Omega Beta 1.
@FabioLolix, some hours ago I opened an issue in Chaotic-AUR, and when I woke up kodi-git and others with the same lib issue were rebuilt.

@csts every time you have error while loading shared libraries: libXXX.so.XXX: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory for build from source programs you have to rebuild it, it is the same as spdlog lib -so https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/23688#issuecomment-1696917985
Graysky, I'm using a Chaotic-AUR binary, so I guess I'll have to open an issue asking them to rebuild it.
Yes, you will need to rebuild just like the official package did: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/kodi/-/commit/cdcff786649ee45a590df9dcdb4702d07eac36cd
System says libdav1d.so=7-64 , while running kodi I get:
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdav1d.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Maybe kodi-git needs rebuilding?
Update your system: spdlog-1.12-1 is what you need.
A Kodi dev told me kodi-git needs to be recompiled for the spdlog lib -so it can start.
My solution was to simply make a lib link and rename it.

@kevku - thanks for pointing that out, fixed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=kodi-git&id=ed01fabc96ccf8e1b0656c962cbecdc9b0fe32a1

@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.
