(In reply to Fabian Vogt from comment #1) > Hm, sounds like /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/ needs to be split out > then? the package is split into what has a dep on X and what does not (at least in theory - sometimes errors creep in) vlc being the 'main' package will keep the desktop file of course. so we would need to split away: /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_pulse.so /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_pulse.so.0 /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_pulse.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_xcb_events.so /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_xcb_events.so.0 /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_xcb_events.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/access/libavio_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/access/libpulsesrc_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/access/libxcb_screen_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/liblibass_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/control/libxcb_hotkeys_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/demux/libavformat_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/notify/libnotify_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/packetizer/libpacketizer_av1_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/packetizer/libpacketizer_avparser_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/services_discovery/libpulselist_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/services_discovery/libxcb_apps_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/stream_out/libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/text_renderer/libfreetype_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/text_renderer/libsvg_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_chroma/libswscale_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libaa_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libcaca_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libegl_wl_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libegl_x11_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libglconv_vaapi_wl_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libglx_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_window_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_x11_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_xv_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/video_splitter/libpanoramix_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/visualization/libglspectrum_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/visualization/libprojectm_plugin.so Those would all be thing an external consumer of libVLC would need access to (meaning there would basically be nothing nothing left in the vlc package than desktop files, icons and metadata - plus some kde4 integration stuff (?))
