@Atticus Thank you for sharing your findings. While I can reproduce the problem with desktop recording throwing the error screenshooter extension not supported, I don't think it's a compilation or packaging issue but rather some problem within the source code itself. Wayland support in VLC is quite new, as is support for Qt6. Maybe they are yet missing some changes for the screenshooter to work (it's source hasn't been touched for quite a while now). I would therefore kindly ask you that you open an issue in the VLC issue tracker containing the details you've found.

@knoelli, @MBK updates:

Using ldd, readelf, gdb, and grep, I-'ll get the source location for the following error: [00007fff84000ea0] wl_screenshooter access error: screenshooter extension not supported

When VLC can record a destop and show that desktop recording at the same time, then I-'ll say wayland enterprises is nearly operational!

What is your build system like. What gpu are you using, which gpu drivers have you installed, etc.

This is priority 4 on my list... I have other projects I-'m working on!

@Knoelli, @MBK I feel your pain. Multiple build tools, 3000 line long makefile, multiple protocols...

@knoelli THANK YOU! It works fine now.

knoelli commented on 2024-04-06 21:21 (UTC)

@MBK, @Atticus, @enesefendi and everybody else who recently encountered compilation problems: I was finally able to reproduce the problem on a machine here and found the problem. The configure script checks for the existence of ${CONTRIB_DIR}/../bin/qmake which, with ${CONTRIB_DIR} not being set equals to /bin/qmake. This is the Qt5 binary of qmake (for Qt6 on Arch it is named qmake6). This results in the configure script to use Qt libraries from contrib where they aren't complete right now.

To cut a long story short: latest commit adds a patch to fix this problem and the package should now compile without the recent problems.

@enesefendi Instructions to build in a chrooted environment are here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

MBK commented on 2024-04-05 21:31 (UTC)

@Atticus fyi, vlc-git 4 works perfectly in wayland (before the latest package update that broke the build system). It has a completely new ui compared to vlc 3.

Atticus commented on 2024-04-05 20:09 (UTC)

@Knoelli, I-'m reporting the same build errors, as enesefendi, in a non chroot environment.

@enesefendi, I-'m also having problems getting VLC (package vlc) to run correctly in Wayland.

enesefendi commented on 2024-04-05 19:35 (UTC)

@knoelli so kind of you to assist me mate, appreciated.

But i really had enough with the wayland stuff. Nothing works for me. I'll go back to x11 and openbox where i was happy :)
