I can confirm the build error reported by @Newk-B, and fixing the FF to AV does, indeed, allow a successul build. I don't, however, get the runtime errors, and it works just fine here after a "make install". Can we at least the get the code fix here, please. I prefer to be able to track the updates than have to make install by hand.

Compiler got an error and suggested a typo to correct in live_aac_encoder2.c to change the FF_PROFILE_ on lines 430 and 431 to AV_PROFILE_ . After that the code compiled without error.

Started IDJC from commandline and got following error:

not sure if this is an error on my end or also a code error.. but commenter before me had the same error.

build error https://pastebin.com/ppSQQCux

for successfull compilation on a fresh installation I dit have to add

makedepends=('libebur128')

to PGKBUILD file

Latest update fails to run (tried on two separate machines)

This should optdepend on python-mysqlclient, which is a Python3 based continuation fork of the Python2-only mysql-python.

Sending MP3 stream metadata to Shoutcast 1.9.8 servers crashes IDJC (still), see https://sourceforge.net/p/idjc/bugs/102/. Upstream libshout state the error been fixed with 2.4.6 (see https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-libshout/-/issues/2328), but I’m unable to rebuild libshout-idjc myself (autogen script fails). Besides, the libshout-idjc code on sourceforce seems to be 2.4.5 (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/libshoutidjc.idjc.p/).

Any ideas/suggestions/solution?

Fails to build in a clean chroot if yon can have a look here please https://builds.garudalinux.org/repos/chaotic-aur/logs/idjc.log

We are trying to add this to the Chaotic-AUR repo.

Works now! Thanks for the update!
