Getting an error: ' ==> Starting prepare()... go: errors parsing go.mod: /home/knecker/.cache/Shelly/mpv-uosc/src/uosc-5.12.0/go.mod:3: invalid go version '1.21.3': must match format 1.23 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... '
Solved by reinstalling go: $ sudo pacman -S go
@Alkalize9567 You just create symbolic link in /etc/mpv and it should be fine. As for why not installing to /etc/mpv, that's because installing to /etc/mpv will enable this plugin for all users who use mpv on the computer. That's not a big problem for single-user system, but for multi-users system, that's another story. So I let users/sysadmins configure that themselves.
@ZhangHua I had to move/copy the files to the dir /etc/mpv. That seems unusual.
@gbr That sounds reasonable. I will not compress ziggy-linux.
Hello! Can you please not compress the ziggy-linux binary with upx?
Sure, UPX compression reduces the binary size from 5.7 MB to 2.4 MB on my x86-64 machine, but at the same time, it almost doubles start up time:
$ cp /usr/share/mpv/scripts/uosc/bin/ziggy-linux ~/ziggy-upx
$ upx -d /usr/share/mpv/scripts/uosc/bin/ziggy-linux -o ~/ziggy-no-upx
$ hyperfine --warmup 3 -N -i ~/ziggy-upx ~/ziggy-no-upx
Benchmark 1: /home/me/ziggy-upx
Time (mean ± σ): 55.6 ms ± 11.3 ms [User: 48.1 ms, System: 4.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 42.8 ms … 80.4 ms 44 runs
Warning: Ignoring non-zero exit code.
Benchmark 2: /home/me/ziggy-no-upx
Time (mean ± σ): 7.3 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 1.8 ms, System: 3.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 4.8 ms … 10.8 ms 545 runs
Warning: Ignoring non-zero exit code.
Warning: Statistical outliers were detected. Consider re-running this benchmark on a quiet system without any interferences from other programs. It might help to use the '--warmup' or '--prepare' options.
Summary
/home/me/ziggy-no-upx ran
7.57 ± 1.66 times faster than /home/me/ziggy-upx
@dreieck I have changed PKGBUILD to download depends in prepare()
But this is indeed no need to trigger everyone to rebuild, so I did not bump pkgrel.
This PKGBUILD downloads stuff during build().
Please move the go specific download steps inti prepare() so that build() can run offline.
==> Starting build()...
go: downloading github.com/atotto/clipboard v0.1.4

Regards and thanks for the package!
Instead of copying the files, using symlinks works. It's required to create three symlinks for /usr/share/mpv/fonts, /usr/share/mpv/script-opts, and /usr/share/mpv/scripts/uosc. Like this:
$HOME/.config/mpv
├── fonts -> /usr/share/mpv/fonts
│ ├── uosc_icons.otf
│ └── uosc_textures.ttf
├── mpv.conf
├── script-opts -> /usr/share/mpv/script-opts
│ └── uosc.conf
└── scripts
└── uosc -> /usr/share/mpv/scripts/uosc
@omeringen See pinned comment for more info. Doing not enable by default is not a mistake. Because I think we should enable it by system admin or user, just like systemd service.

@insatiable_kin You need to create link or copy files in
/usr/share/mpvto$HOME/.config/mpvto let mpv load it automatically. Or you have to call mpv with argument--script=/usr/share/mpv/scripts/uoscto load this script.
