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/>.

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.
