!!! Please do NOT flag the package out of date just because a new version has been release. !!!

Parsec self-updates and as long as the package still installs (no sha256 mismatch), there is no reason to update it in the AUR as the .deb actually is an older version.

Can the maintainer please update the upstream URL to "https://parsec.app"? That is the current URL for this software.

Sometimes parsecd remains running after closing parsec, and hijacks my clipboard. This leads to long paste times (seconds) and not being able to paste images, as parsec will immediately reassume control of the CLIPBOARD selection.

This only happens sometimes and can be "fixed" by pkill -9 parsecd, but if anyone knows why this happens and how to stop it I would be grateful to be told.

It may also be worth noting here that for hardware accelerated decode on Nvidia, you appear to need libva-vdpau-driver installed in addition to libva.

Hey, as @wibru said back in 2018, if you're having issues running Hardware (Hw) decoding on an Intel Processor with integrated graphics make sure you install your distro's libva-intel-driver package. I was running on Manjaro and would get a black screen and immediate crash without it when trying to stream using hardware.

I was having the same problem as adam900710, today I finally used strace to have a look at what was going on, the last syscall failure before the program terminating itself was

access("/usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I don't have that locale enabled on my system, only C and en_US.UTF-8. I tried a (probably really bad and NOT RECOMMENDED) "fix" by doing

sudo ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8 /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1

And sure enough parsecd will now start on my machine.

Note that this could very well be happening because my pacman.conf has NoExtract lines to block unused languages, though I didn't see an iso8859-1 locale directory in parsec-bin's pkg. Hopefully this helps someone.

The package just doesn't work, no stderr/stdout when executing the command parsecd.

After a while it begins to spin inside parsecd-150-28.so.

Not sure what's happening here.

@harpium For some reason when using parsec detected my touchpad as a gamepad and it was doing the same thing, so disabling some imputs from it on the gamepad settings page fixed it.

UI has some strange behaviour on Manjaro GNOME where random elements keep getting selected. Here's a recording of it: https://imgur.com/a/ib4t1gf

@aoleg94 I'm not sure that's enough, as I already had that installed

I'll add the optional pulseaudio-alsa dependency when I'm back home on my PC.
Thanks for letting us know @aoleg94
