Linux thread on the SVP forum, where some comments may be more appropriate than here unless they relate to the packaging:

Official Wiki page for good measure, which is a bit out of date at this point:

I found that SVP is installing the wrong Deinterlacing plugin into vlc... it's choosing the 22 file not the 30 file.

So /opt/svp/plugins/libvapoursynth_plugin.so.22 is choosen instead of /opt/svp/plugins/libvapoursynth_plugin.so.30 for the VLC in version 3.0.4-6.

Replacing it manually with the right version perfectly works (in opposite to the message displayed while installing by SVP - which states, that it was successfully installed, but VLC has removed the deinterlace support).

Maybe you can submit this as feedback/a bug to the developers?

This is still crashing some time after starting.

[1]    1075 segmentation fault (core dumped)  SVPManager

It takes a few seconds to crash but it does crash everytime. I am not even starting mpv, it crashes as is. Any clue what can cause this?

Not sure, I haven't tried if it still crashes without removing libsvpcode.so

Sad so see the svpcode extension go away, any timeframe when it's working again? :)

Missing libQt5Qml.so.5 available in package qt5-declarative

Remove /opt/svp/extensions/libsvpcode.so in order to prevent segmentation fault

I am getting segmentation faults whenever I start it, could this be a problem with qt 5.10? I have that downgraded due to a known issue with plex-media-player failing to start with 5.11. This is somewhat annoying as I primarily use these two programs in conjunction with each other.

please add qt5-declarative as dependency. It is needed for SVPManager

For those who are having issues getting GPU acceleration to work, keep in mind you need OpenCL support. For example, if you have an Nvidia card then not only do you need the ocl-icd optional dependency, you also need opencl-nvidia as per the GPGPU wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GPGPU). If you want to use an AMD or Intel OpenCL based device, then the GPGPU wiki page tells you what other dependencies to install.

If you are still having issues, run SVPManager from a terminal and see the logging output it dumps to stdout, it should tell you if OpenCL was found, if any OpenCL devices were found, and if so which ones it found and will use.

I would recommend that phiresky add the following as optional dependencies to potentially help save time from others:

opencl-nvidia (Official Nvidia OpenCL runtime)

intel-opencl-runtime (Official Intel OpenCL runtime)

opencl-mesa (Open source AMD OpenCL runtime)

opencl-amd (I think official AMD OpenCL runtime)

thank you for your precious hack to decompress the .run file, I've implemented it also in foxitreader
