Apologies for being so slow to resolve the ffmpeg issue, I mistakenly attributed it to system incompatibilities before.

I've pushed an update that removes the ffmpeg dependency/features until this issue is resolved https://github.com/meganz/MEGAcmd/issues/523.

Edit: Thanks @paulieg

megacmd upstream is broken with current ffmpeg and are in no hurry to fix. Since ffmpeg is only used for previews, and most of us only care about the cli anyway, just build without ffmpeg.

./configure --without-ffmpeg

the issue reported by @Wennadocta happens when using the "stock" ffmpeg (4.4-1 as of 2021-04-27). It does not happen if you pre-install the previous version of ffmpeg (4.3.2-1).

@ChrisLane No, I'm building on amd64. I have custom ffmpeg build with this configuration

@Wennadocta were you building on an arm device by any chance? Also, what version of ffmpeg do you have installed?

Can't build, this error in sources:

src/gfx/freeimage.cpp:191:18: error: ‘AVStream’ {aka ‘struct AVStream’} has no member named ‘skip_to_keyframe’
  191 |     videoStream->skip_to_keyframe = true;
      | 

Sorry about that @dessert, I've updated the PKGBUILD to have those changes.

The source file names should include ${pkgver} or ${_sdkhash} repectively, with yay the sha512sum validation failed for me because there were old versions lying around in ~/.cache/yay/megacmd which prevented it from downloading the new versions.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but what happened to the binaries?

This is out of date now and doesn't work with Mega's current link format. OTOH, although there is a new release 1.4.0, upstream has not tagged it for Linux (ie there is a 1.4.0_MacOS and a 1.4.0_Win, but no 1.4.0_Linux). Here's a PKGBUILD that builds it from master:
