AUR PKGBUILD "vcsi-git" works without any problem.

There are no "releases" in github since 2017, but there is recent activiyt in the main repo.

It is actually versioned, but minor/patch version updates are only in the files: https://github.com/amietn/vcsi/blob/master/vcsi/VERSION https://github.com/amietn/vcsi/blob/master/pyproject.toml

What about manually specify the commit hash of each version? E.g., for version 7.0.16, the commit is: https://github.com/amietn/vcsi/commit/a42353ec9b17e2feb964c0f78830b836625cf148 Then download this file in PKGBUILD: https://github.com/amietn/vcsi/archive/a42353ec9b17e2feb964c0f78830b836625cf148.zip

Upstream is actively developed, but without numbered releases since more than 4 years. Using vcsi-git is definitely better.

This version breaks about wmv, there is no such problem with the git version https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vcsi-git/

If you have python 3.6 installed then you need to rebuild the package and reinstall. Otherwise, vcsi looks in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages for its files and can't find them since they are in /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages. Rebuilding the package puts them in 3.6
