Same error here. Any updates on this issue?

[rafaelgomesxyz]

No news? This is the same issue as #108.

[rafaelgomesxyz]

The same issue happens when trying to uninstall it.

I used the command from #108 (comment) (as seen below) and replaced the trakt.luac file from ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/intf with the output file, which allowed me to uninstall it with no issues.

vlc -I luaintf --lua-intf luac --lua-config "luac={input='trakt.lua',output='trakt.luac'}"

The problem is that the installation script replaces the file again, leading back to the same failure.

So, @xaf, perhaps you can use this info to fix it? The problem seems to be in the trakt.luac file that the installation script is generating.
