Help wanted: Showing RPI OS GUI on 240x240 GC9A01 lcd screen ⌚ #1

Any idea how to do it?

I just want to play a video on the small round screen. I am connected via SPI, rpi 3 b, and managed to show an image, that's it.

Showing the GUI and running omxplayer sounded like a good idea. But also, showing the video via a python script sounds great.

Maybe using the GC9A01.blit_buffer(buffer, x, y, width, height) to paint only the changed pixels from last frame to the screen can help?

I finally found a solution and wrote it down! https://www.instructables.com/Connected-Round-Screen-240x240-GC9A01-Controller-t/
