It looks like the pertinent error is

:info:build codec/avcodec/vda.c:148:25: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD'; did you mean 'AV_PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD'?

Is this caused by the ffmpeg upgrade? I see in the Portfile comments that ffmpeg now fails to build with --enable-vda, which seems like it might be related.

(Thanks Marius for extracting the error).

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

Can you please apply the patch and report back if this does the trick?

[mklein-de (Michael Klein)]

Can't speak for the reporter, but for me the patch did the trick

In 7ceb8e0281584df001d9153f83f54ce3bd180ce5/macports-ports:

VLC: update to 2.2.8

Fixes: #55164

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

In a973cb5aaf438ad3c6ec631a123354489a2a532d/macports-ports (master):

VLC: make compatible with FFmpeg 4.0 and lua 5.3

Also, drop the Qt variants as they never worked properly on Mac and didn't even build anymore.

Closes: #55164
