Indeed, the ffmpeg-git conflict comes from chromaprint. It has to be replaced by chromaprint-fftw.

Reason why I wanted to install ffmpeg-git: The ffmpeg packages in the official repository come without support for vaapi and vdpau - in order to have this support enabled, ffmpeg has to be compiled with 

--enable-vaapi
--enable-vdpau
--enable-hwaccel=h264_vdpau
--enable-postproc

(Sources: https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_VAAPI/ and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23289157/how-to-use-hardware-acceleration-with-ffmpeg)

With the standard ffmpeg package, VLC has problems using vdpau:

[h264 @ 0x7fd158012240] Failed setup for format vdpau: hwaccel initialisation returned error.

Furthermore, AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD is deprecated (source: ffmpeg documentation, APICHANGES):

2015-08-19 - 9f8e57ef - lavu 54.31.100 - pixfmt.h
  Add a unique pixel format for VA-API (AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI) that
  indicates the nature of the underlying storage: a VA surface. This
  yields the same value as AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD.
  Deprecate old VA-API related pixel formats: AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_MOCO,
  AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_IDCT, AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD.

Hence, it might make sense to apply this change to the VLC sources:

find . \( -type d -name .c -prune \) -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's|AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD|AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI|g'

Why does this package conflict with ffmpeg-git?

It.. doesn't? Where do you see the conflict explicitly? The PKGBUILD doesn't explicitly list a conflicts with ffmpeg-git.

Fails to compile

I was able to compile 03674aee047f5b9e41d6f267592f79c7790326b1 in a chroot, following the instructions I provided, without issue. Given the pathing of the error message i'm suspicious if it's not an out-of-date dep on your system.

Fix for that kind of errors: Uninstall ALL lua packages, such as lua, lua51 and lua52. Afterwards, run makepkg --syncdeps which retrieves and installs the latest lua package, and then try again.

Unfortunately, for me, this only leads to the next error:

In file included from video_output/opengl/vout_helper.h:35,
                 from video_output/opengl/vout_helper.c:46:

make[4]: *** [Makefile:27837: video_output/opengl/libvlc_opengl_la-vout_helper.lo] Error 1

Looks like this one can be avoided by installing libplacebo-git as indicated in earlier comments.

Why does this package conflict with ffmpeg-git?

UPDATE: Found the problem - it is the chromaprint package. In order to use ffmpeg-git, you will have to install chromaprint-fftw from AUR.

Ok, so after a little bit of testing I was able to get this to build correctly in chroot.

Basically the first part with live555, that is fixed with the latest push (I added a patch from vlc in [extra]). The following error related to pl_filter_haasnsoft is due to libplacebo upstream accidentally pulling the filter [1]. You need to build libplacebo-git and install it in the chroot before building vlc-git. Here's a super quick update i did to the PKGBUILD [2] to get libplacebo-git to build (aur version was not building for me).

Once the next libplacebo release is cut, libplacebo-git shouldn't have to be built in order for this package to build correctly.

I'll look into this today and follow up with what i find

serene-arc commented on 2021-05-12 06:56 (UTC)

When attempting to build this package, I end up with errors relating to the medialibrary library. It starts off by saying in the configuration stage that:

configure: WARNING: Library medialibrary >= 0.9.1 needed for medialibrary was not found

Later on this causes the compilation to fail with the following:

access/live555.cpp:853:63: error: ‘class MediaSubsession’ has no member named ‘connectionEndpointAddress’; did you mean ‘getConnectionEndpointAddress’?

Is there a fix for this? Or is it just some misconfiguration somewhere on my machine. It persists even when I delete the folder for the AUR package and redownload everything. I've looked and I can't find any packages for MediaLibrary itself, nor any packages that contain the troublesome file live555.cpp, and googling for VLC errors like this has left me high and dry.

Can you add a .desktop file for svlc aka "Skins2 vlc"

I am having trouble building VLC right now. I get the same error as in the issue @VaguelyUseful linked, but I am not using lua52
