Can't launch 3rd party application - VMS

There is this nice video application which connects to DVR and let's you see cameras on your linux desktop. I used it with Ubuntu a year ago. Here it is https://support.polyvision.ru/data/public/f577be.php
You install it using sudo sh file-name and it installs into /opt/VMS

Problem is, it does not work on Arch, it complains about qt5 plugin libxcb and I have not clue how to make it work. I've tried everything and searched everywhere.

Here is the suppose solution for Ubuntu... But what's to make of it on Arch I don't know, so I'm asking for help. Please someone make it work on your Arch and give me the solution. Removing it is very easy just rm -rf /opt/VMS

sudo apt install libqt5opengl5:i386
sudo apt install libxrender1:i386Устанавливаем VMS:
cd ~
chmod +x vms.run
sudo su
./vms.run
chmod 777 -R /opt/VMS
mv /opt/VMS/libxcb.so.1 /opt/VMS/libxcb.so.1.old
exit

OPTION #2 give me program name which will work with H.View DVR. (for windows CMS works, on linux VMS is known to work)

Here is the problem when you try to run the application

Got keys from plugin meta data ("xcb")
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/opt/VMS/platforms" ...
loaded library "/opt/VMS/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so"
QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/opt/VMS/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" : "Cannot load library /opt/VMS/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

(libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

$ pkgfile libfontconfig.so.1
extra/fontconfig
multilib/lib32-fontconfig
$ 

Since the i686 in ubuntu instructions indicate this is a 32-bit application, try installing lib32-fontconfig .
