retitle 983109 Build vlc 3.0.17+ with srt support
thanks
Hello all,
providing some perspective, with my newly-acquired srt maintainer hat
on, and directly adjusting this bug's metadata accordingly.

Just for reference, development in the "vlc-3.0" repo as linked above
has been discontinued in favor of the "vlc" repo. While the former only
goes up to tag 3.0.14 the latter includes some even older commits that
update SRT usage in VLC, cf.
<https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/80b149ddf92226d12e71d4de6e6233f52b1ea2bb>.
And these changes were released starting with tag 3.0.17 and are still
present in the most recent 3.0.17.3 which was tagged yesterday, cf.
| vlc master ± git diff 3.0.16..3.0.17 -- configure.ac | grep srt
| -PKG_ENABLE_MODULES_VLC([SRT], [access_srt access_output_srt], [srt >= 1.2.2 srt < 1.3.0], [SRT input/output plugin], [auto], [], [], [-DENABLE_SRT])

I thus simply took upstream 3.0.17.3 and applied the Debian packaging
from 3.0.16-1 to it, then also applied the attached patch and found the
build completing fine, but now with SRT enabled again. The attached
patch more or less reverts the commit 8663ed5 which disabled SRT usage
back in 2020, cf.
<https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/vlc/-/commit/8663ed529c4c4ed0e35b013a83ccbb8578481b4b>.

So, all in all please consider enabling SRT again in VLC, thanks.
Some final notes: Yes, there were some warning around SRT parts during
compilations, but apparently nothing fatal. Yes, I simply shied away
from adjusting patch 0003 to apply cleanly, so I simply disabled it as
it didn't matter to my build environment. And yes, I now saw that there
were updates in the packaging repo on Salsa, but I had already started
my work based on the released source package from the archives.
Cheers,
Flo
