It also depends on the qt5 package having been built with wayland support i.e. wayland package was installed when the qt5 package was built. - + +By default, the vlc runtime is not able to be run as root. This +security feature may be side stepped by building vlc with the RUNASROOT +environment variable set e.g. + RUNASROOT=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild + +Playing of AV1 encoded video is supported when either of SBo's +multimedia/aom or libraries/dav1d packages is detected when vlc is built. +One of these is expected to become required in a future release. Please advise the maintainer to suggest support for any further options. + *NOTES* - the qt4 interface seems not to be working ATM so the qt5 one is enabled by default: this means qt5 is a new mandatory dependency |
