Awesome @brenekh, will try to make a -git version in case other people needed a fix faster than to wait for the release commits

@hmarcelino It looks like FFmpeg 9 removed some functions that auto-editor relied on. Luckily upstream has already patched it so 31.5.0 builds as normal.

@friday13: I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at here. You seem to be building with Python 3.11, which hasn't been in the repositories since April 2024.

Please also include python-setuptools in makedepends according to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#setuptools_or_distutils

Build fails otherwise:

python-pyav should be replaced by python-av as its AUR package doesn't compile. Further more, upstream GitHub repository mentioned that pyav has been merged to av, and there's no reason to use pyav anymore.

After replace python-pyav with python-av , package compiles normally.

Dear aur users, I'm sorry, but I'm no longer using archlinux and need someone to help maintain this pkgbuild, I'll drop this package.
