make vlc.git = video play in 2nd window. TODO: Integrated video. How?

Hey everybody, a new Arch Linux user here - install sure took me some time to figure out, but let's move on...
... Now I have another task I want to achieve that I'm struggling with:

When I make vlc.git/vlc-git, I end up with video playing in a separate window (= two-windowed-vlc; window 1: main interface + window 2: video).
sudo pacman -S vlc, doesn't have this issue (=one-windowed-vlc).

I've seen https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=115001 which was the latest (2013) kinda related thing I could find. My settings was already as supposed to + I tried mixing all the suggested settings, didn't help.

I have now tried to compare the ABS vs the AUR package. In doing so I see the ABS one has a patch included.
So I have tried to merge the differences between their PKGBUILDs, here's the result: http://pastebin.com/26haevnX
Also I needed to modify the .patch as it wouldn't work with the vlc-git code, here's the result: http://pastebin.com/SbV8B11d
So I made a folder, fx 'builds', put those two files in there along with the original vlc-git.install (the ABS and AUR .install files has the same contents). This file can be downloaded fx by doing pacaur -d vlc-git.
Then I did:
cd builds
makepkg -s
pacman -U vlc-git-[version-string-here].pkg.tar.xz
But sadly this installed to my disappointment a two-windowed latest vlc.git

So have you guys managed to get a one-windowed latest vlc.git installed? I'd appreciate if you would share your PKGBUILD+.patch+etc-code or give me further hints as to how I could accomplish this.

Cheers
