It looks like running all the npm commands (which aren't in the GitHub Action when building new releases) was the problem.

Here's the diff with my fixed PKGBUILD:

The fix removes all npm steps from the build and adds cargo clean -p web-module to force a fresh compilation of web-module.

Hello @orangesoda,

Are you also seeing the qobine-web page display a completely black screen with a broken layout, or is it an issue on my environement ?

I always get announced by yay that -2 is available, but building from clean only builds -1. git log is clean, and the version at HEAD lists -1.

This is very strange.

@mathys-lopinto Nope, let me take a look

@cougar44 the -gtk gets build, u can use it by running qobine-gtk in your terminal

Hello, Is that normal that the web of qobine-web just show a blank dark page ?

Would there be a way to build the GTK player as well in this package ?

There has been the release of a new version that greatly revamps the build system. Sadly I am on the move right now and am not able to update the package for an couple of days. Apologies!
