You should add the possibility to install UxPlay via repository in README.md #147

For people less experience, you should write in plain sight that you can install it via repo, for example in Ubuntu:

sudo apt install uxplay

Its in there, before the build-it-yourself instructions. Maybe could be clearer.

Getting UxPlay:

Your distribution may already provide a pre-built uxplay package. It will be included in the next Debian release "Bookworm" (currently in "testing" phase) and Ubuntu-22.04 already provides a uxplay-1.46 package based on this. Arch-based distributions also have AUR self-building packages for both the latest UxPlay release and the current GitHub version. (If you install a uxplay package, you may also need to install some needed GStreamer plugin packages which might not get installed as "requirements" : see below.) To build the latest version yourself, follow the instructions below.

Fixed. See it at https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

text is

Linux distributions providing prebuilt uxplay packages include Debian "testing" (Bookworm), Ubuntu (since 22.04), and Ubuntu derivatives (install with "sudo apt install uxplay"). To easily build latest UxPlay from source, or for guidance on required GStreamer plugins, see Getting UxPlay below. Raspberry Pi users see here.

Great, I'd also add a paragraph to put that text inside, such us: "Pre-built binaries" just before "Building UxPlay on Linux (or *BSD)" paragraph

This new text is not "buried" in the Getting Uxplay section, it is right at the top of the README page , so it's very obvious now I think.

Thanks for your suggestion about this.
