[Request] Availability on the AUR

[illegitimate-egg]

I began work on a pkgbuild but there are a couple of problems with it.

1. edconv is unable to find FFmpeg and FFprobe automatically, despite them being installed and requirements
2. The file browser window that opens is not usable (at least on my system using polkit, wayland and hyprland)

pkgname=edconv
pkgver=1.4.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An intuitive FFmpeg GUI"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://github.com/edneyosf/Edconv"
license=('custom')
depends=('ffmpeg>=7.1')
source=(
    "edconv_1.4.0.deb::https://github.com/edneyosf/Edconv/releases/download/1.4.0/edconv_${pkgver}_amd64.deb"
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edneyosf/Edconv/refs/heads/main/LICENSE"
)

    '7eb022790bc61574c36094222411b95dc9a5e23cfdc105777b665bddd6fa5b82'
)

package() {
    ar x "${srcdir}/edconv_${pkgver}.deb" data.tar.zst
    tar -xf data.tar.zst -C "${pkgdir}"

    install -Dm644 LICENSE "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE"
}

About the second one. I'm not entirely sure, but perhaps you are missing the backend implementation for XDG Desktop Portals on your system that is required for file picking?

Does installing the:

• xdg-desktop-portal
• xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (for wlroots based compositors) or xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland (for hyprland specifically)
• And maybe also xdg-desktop-portal-gtk if you dont have a specific file manager you want to use, so it can fallback to GTK's one.

And then rebooting fixes your issue?

same issue

I have all of the xdg-desktop-* packages installed. I tested building Edconv from source to see if it was an issue with how it was loading stuff on arch and it works perfectly

@illegitimate-egg try to use https://github.com/edneyosf/Edconv/releases/download/1.4.0/edconv-1.4.0.tar.xz (compiled x86_64) to AUR. Edconv does not necessarily need FFmpeg as a system dependency, you can remove it.

@maximilionus @illegitimate-egg Fixes are in v1.4.3

I need help with this to make it available. If anyone can make this upload, I would appreciate it.
