- Rebuilt evdev wheel for cp313 aarch64 (was missing from repo)
- Updated install.sh: add --system-site-packages to venv, verify imports
- Updated start.sh: activate .venv before running player
- Updated run_player.sh: activate .venv before running player
- Added pip fallback for kivy/ffpyplayer if apt/pip install misses them
- Replaced all cp311 wheels with cp313 wheels for Python 3.13 compatibility
- Added new dependency wheels: aiohappyeyeballs, evdev, ffpyplayer
- Rebuilt install.sh with virtual environment + offline wheel installation
- Added --sudo-user/-U and --sudo-password/-W CLI arguments
- Added run_sudo() helper to avoid password prompts during installation
- Fixed 'Setting Up Player Directories' hang (cat->stdin) by using touch
- Updated start.sh to activate virtual environment before running player
- Updated run_player.sh to activate virtual environment
- Removed old cp311 incompatible wheels
- Added backup of previous install.sh as install.sh.bak
- Fix: Replace broad pkill with PID-specific kill -9 in start.sh
- Fix: Remove unreachable deactivate call in start.sh
- Fix: Add find_boot_config helper for RPi config file detection
- Fix: Update autostart status message (remove fake systemd service claim)
- Fix: Add ACTUAL_USER/ACTUAL_HOME to power management function

- Added configure_display_resolution() function to force 1920x1080 output
- Supports three methods: xrandr (X11), tvservice (RPi native), /boot/config.txt (persistent)
- Ensures player displays Full HD on screens larger than 1920x1080
- Configuration runs automatically on each startup
- Fixed start.sh environment variable loading from systemctl
- Use here-document (<<<) instead of pipe for subshell to preserve exports
- Added better error handling for evdev device enumeration
- Added exception handling in intro video playback with detailed logging
- App now properly initializes with DISPLAY=:0 and WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
- Commented out forced pygame backend (causes issues with display initialization)
- Added SDL_VIDEODRIVER and SDL_AUDIODRIVER fallback chains (wayland,x11,dummy)
- Limited KIVY_INPUTPROVIDERS to wayland,x11 (avoids problematic input providers)
- Reduced FFMPEG_THREADS from 4 to 2 (conserves Raspberry Pi resources)
- Reduced LIBPLAYER_BUFFER from 2MB to 1MB (saves memory)
- Fixed asyncio event loop deprecation warning (use try/except for get_running_loop)
- Better exception handling for cursor hiding
These changes fix the app crashing after 30 seconds due to graphics provider issues.
