@xiota Thank you for updating this package. I wouldn't mind to keep it updated alongside with vlc-wayland-git, so if neither you nor @HurricanePootis want to maintain it, I'll be happy to do so, either as maintainer or as comaintainer.

This package has been synced with vlc-wayland-git, but without the 2419 patch. Test built in a clean chroot.

Despite the name, vlc-wayland-git works just fine on x11 as well. The "wayland" patch allows embedded video on the wayland platform.

If you encounter compilation problems, you might want to try out vlc-wayland-git which fixes some dependencies and downloads the sources from the most recent gitlab repo.

Despite the name, it works just fine on x11 as well. The "wayland" part in the name denotes a patch that was not officially merged which allows embedded video on the wayland platform.

Build fails due to fr.mo containing errors?

I agree with slimb, the github repo is way less actively maintained

add "autoconf" and "automake" as dependencies

Build passes now, thanks to zvbi 0.2.41 released yesterday to Arch repos.

Build fails for me as well (in French sorry, commit 674cc68b264931069c7d0fb6843f1ac1d43765ee, 2023-02-10):

  CC       codec/libzvbi_plugin_la-zvbi.lo
Dans le fichier inclus depuis codec/zvbi.c:49:
/usr/include/libzvbi.h:28:10: erreur fatale: version.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
   28 | #include "version.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~

EDIT: same error with current master 988cb382214526533c1dfefd24003dd2f7eb2868 (2023-02-12)

Looks like it's this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77452

Downgrading zvbi to 0.2.39 fixes the issue.
