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
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.
