@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.

It always fails to build without internal ffmpeg.

It's a split package just like the one in community. You want to install the -git flavors if you want the latest code. Bad idea to mix them.

Slightly confused here.

I've just built this and have in front of me four *.zst install files.

Is it the case that the independently available git packages eventclients, dev and texturepacker have been bundled in with the main kodi package?

I know I need eventclients. Do I need the dev and texturepacker files to run kodi as I did from the community repo?

Thank you for providing these packages.

@EndlessEden - try the latest commit

Build fails from missing patch.

"src/xbmc/tools/depends/target/libspdlog/0001-fix_fmt_version.patch : No such file or directory"

The most recent commit allows you to build with clang rather than with gcc. Just set the _clangbuild variable to something. LTO is accomplished with -flto=thin and seems to work well. Please try and report any problems.

Not needed here the last time I built this package r57584.8cbbb961201-1. Guessing you're not building in a clean build root and that the dep detect script in kodi's code found that on your system. Build in a clean build root.

EDIT: the most recent commit builds fine as-is.

Fails to build for me unless i add -DENABLE_PIPEWIRE=OFF
