This is not an Arch packaging issue and therefore belongs in the proper Arch support channels (Forum/IRC/Mailing Lists/Reddit/etc).

A quick search shows this error is all over the web (because it breaks frequently). You can get it to work by following the advice in this upstream ticket [1]. It also works in vlc 3.0.19-1 which is currently in [extra-testing].
