GE-Proton 10-13 released with video fixes for various games and new options

The community compatibility layer GE-Proton for Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck version 10-13 brings fixes for videos on various games with some new options.

Be sure to see my explainer on the different Proton versions and my guide to install GE-Proton to get started with it. Usually, you don't need GE-Proton unless it has some specific fix not available in Valve's official Proton.

All that's new in this release:

• intro video playback fixed in Resident Evil 7
• intro video playback fixed in Resident Evil 8 (Editor Note: they mean Resident Evil Village)
• Upside down cinema video playback fixed in Sky: Children of the Light
• Upside down video playback fixed in Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed
• Two new environment variable options added:

1. PROTON_MEDIA_USE_GST=1 will tell proton to use the winegstreamer backend instead of the default winedmo backend (the winedmo backend was introduced in Proton 10 and is the current preferred video playback method). This can be useful for games with videos that may have worked in Proton 9 but regressed in Proton 10.

2. PROTON_GST_VIDEO_ORIENTATION= can be any of the following: vertical-flip, horizontal-flip, rotate-180, automatic. This is useful if some games have videos that are upside down or otherwise not oriented correctly.

Example usage: PROTON_GST_VIDEO_ORIENTATION=vertical-flip. If you set PROTON_GST_VIDEO_ORIENTATION it will also automatically force the winegstreamer backend to be used, as manual orientation is not possible with winedmo.
