@dougg3, do you know?
Interesting...I can't reproduce the problem. I quickly tried downloading an Ubuntu 20.10 virtual machine and ran it in VMware with the stock RPiPlay. It works -- no green screen. (However, there's some kind of problem with the stride that causes the video display to be completely corrupted, which is a problem I've been seeing with RPiPlay + VMware for a long time that only happens inside of VMware...not on actual hardware)
The interesting thing is that applying the patch completely breaks the video display. A video window never pops up.
I did want to point out that the compile instructions already direct you to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad. I believe it's necessary in order to provide the H.264 decoding support.
@renau thank you! I had this same problem on PopOS 21.04 and this one-line patch worked like a charm.
The default gstreamer generates a greenscreen (not working) in ubutun 20.10. The issue is the video decoder. When I apply this patch it works fine.
(I do not created a pull request because I am not familar with this code and it can break other things).
An issue is that in ubuntu, this requires this package: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
