The current arch package of libplacebo does not yet contain a revert that re-adds previously removed functions. This leads to a compilation error. Using libplacebo-git as suggested by @xiota works around this problem but may cause dependency problems.

I've added a temporary patch to this package that disables the functions in question. As a result, libplacebo video output misses some (but not all) up-/downscaler presets for the time being. I'll remove the patch once the arch package of libplacebo is updated to API version 341 or later.

@knoelli Looks like this package is in good hands. Let me know if you need anything.

@xiota Thank you for the suggestion, I've updated both packages accordingly.

@xiota Thank you for updating this package. I wouldn't mind to keep it updated alongside with vlc-wayland-git, so if neither you nor @HurricanePootis want to maintain it, I'll be happy to do so, either as maintainer or as comaintainer.

This package has been synced with vlc-wayland-git, but without the 2419 patch. Test built in a clean chroot.

Despite the name, vlc-wayland-git works just fine on x11 as well. The "wayland" patch allows embedded video on the wayland platform.

If you encounter compilation problems, you might want to try out vlc-wayland-git which fixes some dependencies and downloads the sources from the most recent gitlab repo.

Despite the name, it works just fine on x11 as well. The "wayland" part in the name denotes a patch that was not officially merged which allows embedded video on the wayland platform.
