All help is appreciated

btw I’m using Arch Linux and python 3.10.14. I Installed acestream using the AUR. The OS is running on bare metal.

When I try to run a stream using acestream-launcher this happens:

▶ acestream-launcher "acestream://d63d8a57cf471394bfa9f619bbd68b01ae27a801"
Cannot connect to Acestream engine!

Exiting...

This error can be fixed by setting correct permissions for ‘/usr/lib/acestream-engine’ directory - it should be writable by user/group, which used to run ‘acestream-engine’.
‘acestream-launcher’ - is not a part of official Ace Stream package, so you should ask for support on Arch Linux forums or contact package maintainer directly.

What should the correct permissions be for /usr/lib/acestream-engine?

I did add myself to the acestream group but that didn’t solve the error.

We know nothing about how Ace Stream is started in this AUR package - you may check with top/htop what user is used to run acestreamengine and either change ownership (chown -R) of ‘/usr/lib/acestream-engine’ directory and files within or set dir permissions to RWX (chmod 755).

Permissions are set to 755 out of the box

░▒▓   /usr/lib/acestream-engine   22:27  
▶ ll
Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
drwxr-xr-x     - root  7 jul 12:23   data

.rwxr-xr-x   14k root  7 jul 12:22   acestreamengine

The following is a copy of the relevant part of the acestream-engine PKGBUILD from the AUR:

package() {
  sed -i "/ROOT=/c\ROOT=\/usr/lib\/${pkgname}" "start-engine"

  install -Dm755 "start-engine"                "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"
  install -Dm644 "acestream.conf"              "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/acestream.conf"
  install -Dm755 "acestreamengine"             "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/acestreamengine"
  cp -a "data"                                 "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/"
  cp -a "lib"                                  "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/"
  install -Dm644 "data/images/streamer-32.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/$pkgname.png"

  install -Dm644 "$pkgname.service" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/$pkgname.service"
  install -Dm644 "$pkgname.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/$pkgname.desktop"
  install -Dm644 "LICENSE"          "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"

  ln -sf "/usr/bin/$pkgname" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/acestreamengine"

Since the program functions as it should apart from the error I will ask the maintainer of the package. Thak you for your help.

Слава России!
