Arch Linux User Repository

If anyone, like me, uses this on GNOME on Wayland with Fractional Scaling (due to a 14" 2560x1440 screen in their laptop), you may find this Electron trick useful to make the app work in native Wayland mode instead of xwayland (so that it does not appear blurry) - run the app with this command:

losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

To make the change persist, change the Exec=... line in /usr/share/applications/losslesscut-bin.desktop to:

Exec=losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

It would be probably great if the .desktop file in this AUR would have this automatically included if Wayland is detected as the display server, but I'm not sure how do you go about this; Also this seems to be a recurring theme with all Electron apps, so I'm thinking about some system-wide solution to be brought up on Arch upstream - no point in having every single Electron app packager waste the effort repeating this.

I'm following the releases on this page: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases

I'm not following all the tagged versions.

@earch done, ty.

Please add 'Provides' and 'Conflicts' properties to the PKGBUILD, as in losslesscut-git AUR PKGBUILD

Anyone tried this package in LXDE?

The video navigation is fine, it plays a bit jerky but the menus are really sluggish. It takes about 6 seconds to flick a button and to open the "Export" menu after hitting the corresponding button, due to extremely slow graphics. Supposedly caused by the animations. How do you disable them?

This is the output in a terminal after startup:

Oh. And there is no audio, but I can live with that.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks for the ping @Luizagna.

I was advised to link an updated PKGBUILD here instead of creating a new package.

Updated for 3.59.1: https://maximumstandard.com/losslesscut-bin/PKGBUILD

I'm willing to co-maintain minor/patch updates if you wish.

@xeruf

I'm not able to test this wayland error right now. If you have a suggestion to fix it then I'll take a look.

Opens but unusable on Manjaro Sway Wayland, logs:

@AvianaCruz electron21 doesn't seem to be available anymore from pacman. Can you try building yourself and share a diff to the current version please?

@dmp1ce Since the issue in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/losslesscut-bin#comment-897950 was solved in upstream, could you try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/losslesscut-bin#comment-897870 again?
