Added third-party FFmpeg, although I don't like this move. I hope these proprietary codecs will be useful to someone.

Note that shy user or user without account of AUR cannot complaint. Unfortunately, upstream's layout does not allows to override .so by adding file.

Okay, I'll add it, but commented out. And I'll uncomment it, with the first complaint in the comments like: the game/app foo doesn't work without proprietary codecs. Because there should be a good reason to replace the officially bundled library with a third-party one. A solution to a practical, not theoretical problem.

"Well-behaved" RMMV game does not include h264 and aac file only. But someone may distribute such game. And nwjs is not only for RMMV.

Can you include nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt? Because LD_PRELOAD cause side effect for apps called by nw.

But nwjs archive already contains libffmpeg.so. I have a lot of RPG Maker MV/VN Maker games that use this package, so far no problems. Are there any games/apps that specifically require this (not bundled with nwjs) version of ffmpeg?

depends should not rely on translative deps (about libraries)

If it breaks, then I'll fix it, but for now I'll leave the dependencies as they were.

Can you include https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/download/${pkgver}/${pkgver}-linux-x64.zip? Because LD_PRELOAD cause side effect for apps called by nw.

oech, sorry for being an ass, I didn't mean to discourage you. I'm just old and grumpy, especially when something I use breaks. I kept your idea of splitting the package, although I'm not completely sure. Because according to the diff, the sdk differs not only in the presence of additional files.

Binary files nwjs-v0.101.2-linux-x64/lib/libnw.so and nwjs-sdk-v0.101.2-linux-x64/lib/libnw.so differ
Binary files nwjs-v0.101.2-linux-x64/resources.pak and nwjs-sdk-v0.101.2-linux-x64/resources.pak differ

Otherwise, everything seems to be working as before.
