Hi,
not a dev, too. But didn’t the package log help to figure out, what you
need?
See Split the package based on plugins with external dependencies
<https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/vlc/-/commit/d476e0267ca5e6952a740381b03eb42a1cbf7359>
that is linked on the package page Arch Linux - vlc 3.0.21-26 (x86_64)
<https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vlc/>.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen | Kind regards

Arch devs,
Updates tonight showed 20+ new vlc-plugins that are now separate
from the main vlc package. The wiki is silent on which were included.
There are a number of reddit threads from the last day about vlc no
longer working due to the plugin issue, is there a list of what (which
plugins) used to be included by vlc before the package was split?
I see there is a plugins-all which presumably installs every plugin,
but I can't tell if that is wildly over-inclusive compared to what vlc
used to provide by default.
Is there a way to figure out what used to be in the default Arch vlc
package that now must be separately installed as a plugin to ensure
the same functionality? The old package before the split used to work
quite well without any muss or fuss.
