In case someone else struggles with the build. I got it running with the following adjustments:
1) In PKGBUILD under makedepends=
"ffnvcodec-headers<=12.1.14.0" -> "ffnvcodec-headers"
2) In PKGBUILD under build(){
Adding -DCEF_INCLUDE_DIR="/opt/cef-obs/include" \ under -DCEF_ROOT_DIR="/opt/cef-obs" \
ffnvcodec-headers<=12.1.14.0 is no longer required. The package can be built with the latest ffnvcodec-headers.
To followup @xiota @zangoku, I have successfully Built OBS with a working browser plugin by changing ONE line in PKGBUILD:
Change the line with "-DBUILD_BROWSER=ON \" to
-DENABLE_BROWSER=ON \
I have the same issue as @zangoku. I have 2 PCs running Manjaro and I updated PC #1 on 24-Aug-2024 and OBS works fine. Yesterday, I updated PC #2 and OBS will not load the obs-browser module. I typically have to manually Build OBS each time there's a major OS update but here's what I see when I build on PC #2:

I'm not sure if that helps. I saw on https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/11227 the issue has been closed because "This is a packaging issue, please report it to the packager." but that doesn't make sense to me?
Does something need to be updated in PKGBUILD ??
URL sources no longer work and it is a package issue according to the dev team ref: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/11227
I am myself not happy with the current situation, the package from DigitOtter is only a workaround for obs-studio not being compatible with the current version of ffnvcodec-headers from Arch.
The option I am currently using is to edit the PKGBUILD of ffnvcodec-headers-12-1.
For instance with yay: yay -S ffnvcodec-headers-12-1 --editmenu. Press enter, enter, 1.
Replace the line beginning with provides=, with provides=("ffnvcodec-headers=${pkgver}").
Save and close the editor.
After the package is installed obs-studio-git should build fine.
Another option could be to install the downgrade package to downgrade ffnvcodec-headers before compiling obs-studio-git like so:
sudo downgrade ffnvcodec-headers
Select the version 12.1.14.0 and press enter. After the installation is complete obs-studio-git will install just fine.
You can also add the ffnvcodec package to your IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf:
IgnorePkg = <<list of packages separated by space if you already have some>> ffnvcodec-headers
That way you won't have to downgrade everytime.
Can you edit the PKGBUILD to make it accept ffnvcodec-headers-12-1 as a dependency? I did it locally, but it will be overwritten on each update.
With latest Nvidia Extra install (555 drivers), was able to get this to compile by editing the line ffnvcodec-headers<=12.1.14.0 to this: ffnvcodec-headers<=12.2.72.0
I have tested and everything runs fine at this time.
The dependency check fails because the new version that it's looking for is installed under a different name. It's looking for ffnvcodec-headers<=12.1.14.0: ffnvcodec-headers "greater than or equal" to version "12.1.14.0", but the newest version of the headers is installed under ffnvcodec-headers-12-1 followed by the version number "12.1.14.0-1". It's looking for something that doesn't exist ffnvcodec-headers version 12.1.14.0-1. I'm not 100% positive, but this should be fixable with a wildcard (*) after "ffnvcodec-headers"*<=12.1.14.0 so it will match any dependencies that have that in their name AND it'll check for the correct version.
