GPU</strong></p>
<p>Raspberry Pi (RPi) computers can run UxPlay with software decoding of
h264 video but this usually has unacceptable latency, and
hardware-accelerated GPU decoding should be used. Distributions such as
RPi OS (Bullseye) release have recently dropped support for 32-bit-only
OpenMAX (omx) GPU decoding (used by RPiPlay), in favor of Video4Linux2
(v4l2). Fixes to the GStreamer v4l2 plugin that allow it to work with
UxPlay on RPi are now in the GStreamer development branch, and will
hardware-accelerated GPU decoding should be used. UxPlay provides access
to the GPU using the GStreamer plugin for Video4Linux2 (v4l2), an
alternative to unmaintained 32-bit-only OpenMAX (omx) used by RPiPlay,
which is no longer supported by recent distributions such as RPi OS
(Bullseye). Fixes to the GStreamer v4l2 plugin that allow it to work
with UxPlay on RPi are now in the GStreamer development branch, and will
appear in the upcoming GStreamer-1.22 release. A (partial) backport (as
<code>gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-1.18.4-2+~rpt1</code>) has already
appeared in RPi OS updates. Until the full update appears, or for other
