@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.

Thank you for maintaining this. I was dying for a Kodi-19 preview.

FYI, the binary will not start unless libcec.so.4 is installed. So I guess libcec needs to be moved to the "depends" list.

This was built in a clean chroot, so no unnecessary junk was lying around when built.

lirc is now a make dependency. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/6e156bea5bf3a7fb8967e888238b6a07b967a90b

Since the last ffmpeg update to Version 1:3.4.2-2 kodi is compile without error but start with this error:

ffmpeg[7FFAACA5C900]: Invalid return value 0 for stream protocol 12:11:39.467 T:140714615097600 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 5 times. 12:11:39.467 T:140714615097600 ERROR: Could not find suitable input format: image/png

and segfault.

If i enable the buildin ffmpeg from kodi in the package.conf kodi is working again but is logical bigger and i like to get rid of double packages.

Im the onlyone with this problem?

@sarvex: This is not possible because the dynamic version number is calculated from the amount of commits on Git since the last major release.

It would be really save some bandwidth if the archive tarball is used for sources

source=("https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/archive/master.tar.gz")

Sure, till the end of the week should be done ;)

Could you modify the PKGBUILD so the resulting packages provide the specific version of Kodi (e.g. provides=("kodi=${pkgver}") )? Also, kodi-dev needs provides=("kodi-dev") please.

@beojan, sorry I'm late. I can't confirm either, it builds without any problems here. Have you tried to build with the manual approach?

Niklas commented on 2018-01-15 20:37 (UTC) (edited on 2018-01-15 20:38 (UTC) by Niklas)

This is how my PKGBUILD looks like, haven't seen any important which could change the build's outcome. https://github.com/flak3/reposource/blob/master/unstable/kodi-git/PKGBUILD

I always build my packages in a clean chroot though. I have a working copy in my repo if you need it.

Niklas: Have you edited the PKGBUILD in any way?
