Comment (by Tatsh):
Well, I would still accept this over not having MacPorts manage my VLC
installation at all.
As for what VLC stock has vs a custom build, there are a few things but I
can't remember if I've been affected by them, especially on macOS. There
are a lot of build options for VLC.
>NB: it might be possible to replace a sufficient number of the embedded
libraries with symlinks to the ones provided by MacPorts, but that would
require re-signing the application.
Definitely wouldn't want this.
The only upsides to building a custom VLC is that the libraries are shared
and can be updated independently (whether this will work at runtime is
always an issue) and that features can be enabled or disabled based on the
user's needs.
The issue may be more to do with having to maintain ffmpeg, VLC, mpv, and
a lot of other libs to make sure everything stays in sync. On Gentoo this
can be a struggle and there's a team for this. I understand MacPorts may
not have the same kind of resources available at this time.
