Error mentioned in the previous comment should be no longer a problem in version 1.4.1.

I made a poor choice in the previous release to bundle GStreamer codecs withing the package. I wanted it to be self-contained and self-sufficient.

I decided to no longer do such things.

So if you care for having a local media preview during streaming, please go to: Application > Settings > Local Player Backend And switch to: 'PyAV'

Or the other way would be to use 'Qt' option there, but make sure you have most popular GStreamer codecs (like h264, hevc, ac3, etc.) installed on you system. (However for a longer run, I'm planing to ditch the Qt builtin player implementation altogether.)

If you don't care for the local preview, pick 'Null' option in the aforementioned setting.

Furthermore, if you'll encounter any more problems with this AUR, you can always consider the Python package version: https://pypi.org/project/kast/
