     ! video/quicktime ! aiurdemux ! queue max-size-time=0 \
     ! vpudec ! waylandsink window-width=1280 window-height=720 async=false enable-last-sample=false qos=false sync=true

Note:

The parameter width=1280 window-height=720 for waylandsink corresponds to the display resolution.

It has to use Yocto with xwayland backend. wayland backend can't display properly. It only shows green on display.

It's known issue in Yocto 2.5.
