Build fails, vlc-git is behind libupnp:

Upnp_FunPtr expects void*

VLC sends const void* (UpnpEventPtr)

Build of vlc-git fails at lua/sd/fmc.luac with this error: lua/sd/fmc.lua:35: attempt to assign to const variable '_'

This happens because Lua 5.4+ (I'm using lua 5.5.0 from extra-staging) treats the first variable in a for loop as const, so it can't be reassigned.

Fix: Change this line in fmc.lua (around line 35):

lua , , artist, title = string.find( song_node.children_map["name"][1].children[1], "(.+)%s-%s(.+)" )

to:

local _, artist, title = string.find( song_node.children_map["name"][1].children[1], "(.+)%s-%s(.+)" )

I added this inline patch in the prepare() function of the PKGBUILD (line numbers may vary slightly depending on the version):

--- a/share/lua/sd/fmc.lua

+++ b/share/lua/sd/fmc.lua

@@ -32,7 +32,7 @@

         for _, song_node in ipairs( show_node.children_map["songs"][1].children ) do

  • , , artist, title = string.find( song_node.children_map["name"][1].children[1], "(.+)%s-%s(.+)" )

  • local _, artist, title = string.find( song_node.children_map["name"][1].children[1], "(.+)%s-%s(.+)" ) local rank = song_node.children_map["rank"][1].children[1] if rank ~= nil then rank = "Rank: " .. rank

Tested and it builds successfully now. Hope this helps others!

this is broken (does not build) with the release of ffmpeg8. There is a fix available on their git, but it isn't yet merged. could you add the patch to the pkgbuild? it's here and I tested it manually: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/7686/diffs

@xiota thanks, this resolved the issue.

@bananasgomoo Related to split of plugins from extra/vlc into subpackages. I pushed an update that may resolve it.

I've decided to keep this as a monolithic package because split packaging is prone to failure and very slow to process ~84 subpackages.

Update: Lua plugin has been split so it can be replaced with a LuaJIT variant. There isn't sufficient benefit to make splitting the others worthwhile.

for some reason this is no longer considered valid as a dependency, so phonon-qt6-vlc is trying to install the regular libvlc and causing a conflict when i try and update it.

soloturn commented on 2025-05-03 10:30 (UTC)

remis means that the linking in the package causes:

[00007ffe471c6078] main generic error: cannot load plug-in /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libnfs_plugin.so: /usr/lib/libnfs.so.16: undefined symbol: gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status

https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/29144#note_483263

the error has no effect on functioning as far as i can tell. but i not use nfs.

build fails without vulkan:

In file included from video_output/vulkan/platform.h:27,
                 from video_output/vulkan/platform.c:31:
video_output/vulkan/instance.h:25:10: fatal error: vulkan/vulkan.h: No such file or directory
   25 | #include <vulkan/vulkan.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with vulkan-headers it builds and runs, video is showing. with gnome, wayland, video size is not adjusting to window wize and mouse buttons not working when "start in minimal view mode".
