Please stop flagging package as out-of-date until there is stable version, not alpha, beta, RC or whatever.

recently some of TS/AceStream related services switched over to version sw 3.x.x so I was forced to upgrade acestreamengine, probably steps will be useful for some of you. prerequisites - you have already working version of acestream*_2.1.6* already... or you can install packages from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ahprsyr6ycazwbp/AAD0C-Ycx1r3gOyEZd1Bu66ja upgrade itself can be done like this (may be package maintainer will incorporate steps into PKGBUILD) sudo pacman -S python-setuptools python-psutil python-pip python2-xlib wxpython wmctrl python2-pip sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools sudo pip install --upgrade distribute mkdir acestream_3.0.0-a18; cd acestream_3.0.0-a18; wget http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/14/acestream_3.0.0-a18_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64.tar.gz tar xvfz acestream_3.0.0-a18_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64.tar.gz sudo cp acestream_3.0.0-a18_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64/acestreamengine /usr/bin/ sudo cp -R acestream_3.0.0-a18_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64/data /usr/share/acestream sudo cp -R acestream_3.0.0-a18_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64/lib /usr/share/acestream mv $HOME/.ACEStream/sqlite/torrentstream.sdb $HOME/.ACEStream/sqlite/torrentstream.sdbtorrentstream.sdb.backup mv $HOME/.ACEStream/options.sdb $HOME/.ACEStream/options.sdb.backup

Thank you very much, benbristow, libappindicator is by far the biggest pain in installing/using this. I'll move it to an optdep.

Managed to get this to install today. Here's how libappindicator is a pain to get working for some reason. And it's not actually required unless you want the GTK interface. So we can just remove that dependency from the PKGBUILD. Downloads seem to time out/be really slow. I found a better link http://stuff.tazhate.com/distfiles/acestream-engine_2.1.6-1raring4_amd64.deb Hashsums match perfectly. So just plop that in the folder with the PKGBUILD. Then everything should just install to plan like normal. Not sure how to get libappindicator working though.

sorry Scimmia, didn't thought that they would update the program that often

onny, why did you adopt these packages if you're not going to maintain them? It's been flagged out-of-date for a month now.

Hi, this PKGBUILD is working for me: http://pastebin.com/xcWFvW2t

I had to delete ~/.ACEStream to get the new version to run. If you have problems, try it.

@jqvillanova, what do you keep talking about in reference to "orphaned" packages? If they're orphaned in the AUR, who cares? That has nothing to do with building, installing, or running the package at all.

@kellerman i had the same issue, just there is one package of the building deps that if its deeted the the engine and the player doesn't work. I think is python-m2crypto but could be anyone, just don't delete the orphaned packages after installing acestream.

that didn't fix it, looks like it's a common problem in torrentstream software.
