And it seems like this will not be fixed https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=324184

Is there an alternative player that can be installed? right now installation script fails on a fresh Bullseye Raspberry PI OS install. In the longterm other fix than downgrade to buster will be needed...

Yes, that's true. As it says in the readme: Currently only the Legacy version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite is supported. You can download it from here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-legacy

Some people are working on porting the looper to cvlc. https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper/tree/pb-bullseye
