1-liner for Ubuntu 22.04 #117

Closed Utopiah closed 1 year ago

When I saw the Debian warning in "Note to packagers" I incorrectly assumed no package for Ubuntu was available, as it's heavily relying on it. I then started to consider building from source but not after checking availability in repositories.

I had the good surprise to find it. Installing directly failed with GStreamer error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. but using sudo apt-get install uxplay gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-gl worked.

Thanks for the work!

Looks like Ubuntu-22.04 are providing OpenSSL-3 which satisfies Debian's license issues. Debian has a package in "Sid" which should be in the next Debian release "bookworm". Maybe that's where the Ubuntu package is derived from?

Main changes since uxplay-1.46 are support for Raspberry Pi's GPU using Gstreamer Video4Linux2, and support for metadata and cover art in the audio-only mode (for Apple Music).

Uxplay-1.56 is probably the end of development, unless any bugs that need fixing are found, or minor improvements made.

Thanks for the clarification. Should I update the README.md to reflech that? Might help newcomers to not worry about the build process, which can be scary for some.

README is now updated!

Thanks
