I just installed this, the YT video stream decoding works, but there's no audio stream. When the video is playing, I then look at the 'Current Media Information' > Statistics > Audio Decoded 0 blocks, Played 0 buffers. VLC 3.0.21 and did remove the youtube.luac file before installing this pkg. I'll try the one from the Community repo.

The package now uses yt-dlp. If it does not work for you, you might need to remove /usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/youtube.luac.

@astier: No, as those are part of the base-devel group which you are expected to have installed first if you build AUR packages.

bison and flex should be added as build-dependencies.

The server has a problem with its SSL certificates being incorrectly set up leading to the error:

Cloning into bare repository '/home/jk/build/vlc-plugin-ytdl-git/vlc-plugin-ytdl'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.remlab.net/git/vlc-plugin-ytdl.git/': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading vlc-plugin-ytdl git repo

To temporarily disable certificate verification in git and make it build:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vlc-plugin-ytdl-git.git
cd vlc-plugin-ytdl-git
GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://git.remlab.net/git/vlc-plugin-ytdl.git
# as you just disabled a security feature, verify the source code here
makepkg
