Kodi 18 now has support for Wayland in addition to the default X11 and standalone platforms. This support has to be added at build-time.
It would be really nice to have this. The instructions at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/docs/README.Linux.md have been updated with dependencies and instructions to include it in the build.
This task depends upon

Building kodi for wayland needs additional dependencies wayland-protocols and waylandpp, latter of which is only available from AUR. Apart from that you only need to enable the wayland build with '-DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland -DWAYLAND_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl', and it should build without issues.

However, it seems that you can't build Xorg and wayland ports at the same run, so kodi-wayland would probably have to be made a separate (sub-)package.
