I added it since some users built on Arch ARM and caused them problems. Are you experiencing an issue with it?

That's not really relevant. It doesn't make sense to "build" separate i686, x86_64, and soon maybe x86_64-v3 versions of this non-binary package.

why is the architecture x86_64 specified and notany? @khvalera - Arch ARM ships the needed files in the respective packages.

Do you guys run kodi-wayland or kodi-x11 as standalone? I'm thinking of moving to Wayland as standalone.

@ghen - the issue we are running into here is complex for kodi-x11 due to systemd and/or my lack of mastery of all its myriad nuances. For one, we are starting xorg-server and then starting kodi within in one step which led to a bit of confusion and discussion to get it to both start and stop properly[1,2].

Beyond that, differences in systemctl stop kodi-x11 and systemctl reboot caused me to make the most recent change removing the PAMName= so I could get the entire thing under the system.slice and out of the user.slice[3].

I am open to suggestions to limit the kodi user to just the physical keyboard.

Thanks. Not sure it's a good idea to give kodi unrestricted access to all input devices though? (even if the user switches to another tty?)

@ghen - I think kodi may need to be in the input group now that the PAMName= directive is removed. EDIT: yep, I will fix and update. Thank you for the report.

I'm seeing the following in Xorg.log for all input devices, from power button to keyboard and mouse: (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event4 Permission denied.
