Yet another Vita Dock but instead of an entire Linux distro or a Docker container its a standalone utility

despite being called "Lite", VitaDockLite has all the features you need to turn your PC into a dock to stream your PlayStation Vita's display

VDlite (for my hands sake) uses mpv to display the video output of the vita which we get via the udcd_uvc.skprx plugin (i recommend NOT using autoplugin/2)

Please note that a new fork of this dock will be created soon to add more features and be more polished as a GUI application that serves as a vita companion more than it being just a dock, while this project remains a minimal solution for those who dont need the extra features and just a simple streaming app

Testing is needed to make sure everything works flawlessly
to use the last stable version clone the repo then run:
git checkout 76ee4b5
by doing this you will revert this repo to an old commit
however i suggest that you try the latest version first
if its buggy then purge it and do this step
note: installation for older version is explained in the old readme

We are sorry to inform you that v0.2.0 is incompatible with v0.0.1+
thus you'll need to remove the old Installation and its config files

The install.sh file will install everything alongside the dependencies (for debian and arch based linux distros) which can be easily ran like so:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NekoMimiOfficial/VitaDockLite/main/install.sh | bash

please note that the app is installed to ~/.local/share/VDlite
while the executable is a symlink found at ~/.local/bin
make sure to add it to your path

-> if your distro isn't supported you can manually run the steps below:

• clone the repo to ~/.local/share/VDlite
• install python3, pip3, mpv, v4l-utils
• install pip dependencies:

[ globally ] -> sudo -H pip3 install ~/.local/share/VDlite/pip/NekoMimi.whl
[ per user ] -> pip3 install ~/.local/share/VDlite/pip/NekoMimi.whl

• chmod +x ~/.local/share/VDlite/VDockLite
• add the executable to your path
  -> I prefer to keep my local binaries at ~/.local/bin so i create a symlink of the executable to the local bin folder
  the bin folder is added to path and the symlink is created like so ln -s -r ~/.local/share/VDlite/VDockLite ~/.local/bin

• Hey Neko, please add Windblows support

• Looking for help

So what's different about VDlite?

VDlite doesnt force the user to install a new OS on their raspberry pi nor does it require docker it's simply a standalone app that can coexist with your regular setup
has theme support (bootup splash) and background music for that dock feel, giving a more dock-like experience while remaining a single app
VDlite is essentially a script meaning it can run in the background quietly and can be made to start on boot

found in the changelog.md

VDlite is configured via a file under $HOME/.config/VDockLite/settings.conf its well commented
