[SOLVED] KODI does not start (undefined symbol referring to wayland)

Hi,

Since recently, kodi does not start anymore:

$ kodi
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: undefined symbol: _ZN7wayland9display_t15roundtrip_queueERKNS_13event_queue_tE

I'm using X.org.

KODI did start just a few days ago (two days ago). Actually, according to log timestamps, last time I've run KODI was 16th of February, at 13:07 (or 01:07pm).

Is it just me or everyone else, too?

I can see no bug reports about this; also it's' been a while since the package has been updated (well, not that long...).

Cheers!

Also have this issue after today' s update.
EDIT:
Seems that the problem caused by waylandpp which updated today. After downgraded to version 0.2.8-1, kodi works again.

I've downgraded the package waylandpp with

downgrader -a waylandpp

  but to do this you have to install (with yay) "downgrader-git" package

yay -S downgrader-git

Now, Kodi runs again.

Or you can just use pacman because probably the previous version is already downloaded with:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/waylandpp-0.2.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
