@TheGoliath @Feakster Sorry it got so long to catch up with the request, but rest assured, I haven't abandoned the package :)

I'll have a look at the proposed changes and see where we end up!

Just noticed what @TheGoliath wrote, having emailed something similar to @lucifermstar this morning (although @TheGoliath did a better job of the PKGBUILD than me). I agree with the @TheGoliath's comments... it would simplify the maintenance of this package is the ARM variants could be rolled into it. I don't mind helping out with the maintenance as I use it on both x86_64 and aarch64 devices.

I updated the package, again.

As I mentioned before, Vivaldi now downloads the extra ffmpeg codecs by itself at first boot. Hence this package is obsolete.

Proposing removing this package, again.

At some point /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi started running /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg --user automatically, effectively rendering this package useless. Only the first launch is affected because the plugin is downloaded in the background; on the second launch the plugin is installed in the users home folder.

I'm proposing deprecating and/or removing this package as obsolete.

PS. There was a out-of-date flag, and I double-checked the repositories and it was a false alarm. Plus, current Vivaldi 3.0.1874.32 installs the same version of the plugin. However, Vivaldi does try to load /opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so.N.N using Vivaldi version number before the home dir provided file, so there may be some rare corner case where this mechanism could still provide useful.

@rnbguy My apologies, I just now fully understood what you meant. After brief testing, I updated the package with as you suggested (along with more restricted file name matching logic).

@direc85 Ah. It works now, because currently the latest version is "80.0.3987.87-0ubuntu0.18.04.1". But if there was an another version "80.0.3987.100-0ubuntu0.18.04.1", it will still pick the old one.
