this repeats infinitely trying to do yay -S vlc-plugin-luajit :(

Following the comment of @brunofontes, I'm trying that path I've installed osb-studio, vlc and libvlc, but step 2 isn't working:

>yay -Syu vlc-plugin-luajit

:: removing vlc-plugin-lua breaks dependency 'vlc-plugin-lua=3.0.21' required by vlc-gui-qt
-> error installing repo packages

If I go down the path of trying to remove vlc-gui-qt then it starts getting into kde base dependencies. Am I missing something?

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

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

@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.
