Enhancement: Script -> UxPlay (successor to RPiPlay) about pikiss HOT 4 CLOSED

There's definitely some issues with both --> I haven't been able to get rpiplay to work at all... though i didn't dig into it too much. i considered trying to get a BUSTER image (as i had that working with rpiplay in the past), but just kinda gave up. legacy legacy was a bit outdated in my mind.

I did spend more troubleshooting on uxplay, as it seemed newer:

I opted to build from the source as the raspbian repos were using an outdated version

There's also a gstreamer patch i had to do to make video flipping work: FDH2/UxPlay#287

And i created a service to start using the following: /usr/local/bin/uxplay -r R -vs kmssink -avdec -fs -n UxPlay -nh -- this worked the best on an RBPI 4B with a 64bit bookworm full install -- but the repo claims calling it without flags should find the best codecs, etc... 🤷

I just checked today in the morning.

My first impression: It's not very usable using RPi 5 on RPi Bookworm 64-bit + Wayland. After passing some arguments to the binary, I can see the screen, but It fails when I try to rotate the device. For a change, I think the guilty is the OS and/or Wayland because the older repository RPiPlay ran flawlessly. Now you need to handle multiple arguments according to your settings (Rpi version, Video driver, Desktop environment...).

So, I don't know what to do. 😅 I prefer giving support to UxPlay because is updated, but I need to think about how to make it usable for multiple config/variations.

It works on my side with your guide (thank you!), but changing -vs with waylandsink (I'm using wayland). I need a way to know If the user is using Wayland or not.
