Will not start with gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed on PopOS 20.10

[rhapsodyai]

Hi, I am trying to run this after building from source, and I have heard several people say that I need to remove the gstreamer1.0-vaapi package for Intel Graphics (I am using an Nvidia graphics card). However, gstreamer1.0-vaapi seems to be a requirement for the pop-desktop component. Is there a workaround for this so that I can run UxPlay without removing gstreamer1.0-vaapi?

After running ./uxplay and mirroring, here is the output that I get.

I looked through the code but could not find the part of the source that refers to the gstreamer-vaapi package specifically.

this is purely a gstreamer issue. VAAPI wont work on nVidia. It must be uninstalled.

Its probably because uxplay uses the autovideosink method to end the gstreamer pipeline, and that is supposed to guess what to use by looking at what is installed on your system. The presence of vaapi on an nVidia system confuses it. VAAPI is completely incompatible with nvidia , it's for intel graphics. and should not be installed. with nvdia.

There is a new release of uxplay at pr #58
