should libappindicator be a non-optional dependency? I tried running without it and got errors so I think it is required.
Thanks!

Why droidcam-icon.png is installed in /opt ?
I tested with v4l2loopback-dkms on my Manjaro (yes, I read the pinned comment) and I needed to change three things, remove videodev in /etc/modules-load.d/droidcam.conf, leave only v4l2loopback in place of v4l2loopback-dc (that was obvious).
The third modification is to add /etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf to the droidcam package, the program works without this change, but the user cannot change the resolution.
Without the above changes my system has errors to start, I'm not complaining, I'm just passing on the information, maybe it can be useful.
Greetings.
With 1.6 supporting both, I think it would be preferable to drop the goofy custom loopback module and just depend on the regular v4l2loopback module / package.
I updated to 1.6, but didn't add v4l2loopback support yet, as I'm not sure how to handle it yet and we discuss it with other maintainers.
In the meanwile, one can manually install v4l2loopback-dkms
package, unload v4l2lookback-dc
module and load v4l2loopback
to try it out.

Could you add snd-aloop to droidcam.conf so sound works a bit more OOTB?
@fourier No, as stated in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DKMS_package_guidelines#Dependencies.
@invidian thanks, that's what I did. But shouldn't the headers be installed as a dependency?
@fourier you must install kernel headers for the kernel you have installed in order to use DKMS, for example "linux-headers" if you use "linux" package for your kernel. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support#Installation for more details.
Tried to install, but failed with
==> Unable to install module v4l2loopback-dc/1.5 for kernel *: Missing kernel headers.

Manjaro is spam here, and the maintainer already said he can't install a different distribution just to support some users. Manjaro users: Please refrain from making further comments and use Manjaro support channels instead.
