Arch Linux split the vlc package between it's plugins.

This package has been refactored to only replace vlc-plugin-lua, updating will require manual intervention:

• Install vlc (and libvlc)
• Build the PKGBUILD and install vlc-plugin-luajit
• Install vlc-luajit

These last two comments (shaybox and tytan652) worked pretty well for me!

1. sudo pacman -Sy obs-studio vlc libvlc
2. Install vlc-plugin-luajit
3. Install vlc-luajit
4. Install obs-studio-tytan652

I can't install vlc and libvlc because obs-studio-tytan652 requires it, and multiple packages depend on obs.

I figured it out sudo pacman -Sy obs-studio vlc libvlc
But now I can't install obs-studio-tytan652

@tytan652 the vlc package has been updated, splitting off the package to multiple packages. This is causing issues now.

@tytan652, the PKGBUILD currently fails to build

@Smoolka, instead of having each PKGBUILD use that, you should instead modify your /etc/makepkg.conf and at MAKEFLAGS, put MAKEFLAGS="-j12", or how many threads you want to sue for compilation.

Changing the make command to make -j$(nproc) made this compile much faster. Otherwise it takes quite a while.

@Alkaris Please read the Arch Linux Code of Conduct: https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#arch-linux-distribution-support-only

@tytan652 You can't ignore the fact that Manjaro users also use the AUR for packages with their package managers that support the use of AUR package downloads, what you gonna do, tell them NOT to use AUR? The height of laziness of people like you to not wanting to help users for using the same package repos is unbelievable, because a simple error might be overlooked that isn't present on one system, wont be the same for everybody.

Thanks @tytan652!

It's reassuring to see that your new push looks to match the exact changes I made to get the package to build (I'm Arch Linux as well).

Thank you again!
