How to install GStreamer runtime package on Mac

In Terminal, run: brew install --cask gstreamer-runtime
Homebrew runs the gstreamer-1.0-1.28.6-universal.pkg installer, which asks for an administrator password.

Caveats

This cask installs the GStreamer.framework runtime tools into /Library/Frameworks/

To install the GStreamer.framework development tools also, run:
  brew install --cask gstreamer-development

Install without Homebrew

Download the same file Homebrew uses: gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.28.6/gstreamer-1.0-1.28.6-universal.pkg

SHA-256 only checks that the download is complete; it is not a security certification. See the SHA-256 and download address

Uninstall GStreamer runtime package and optional data cleanup

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --cask gstreamer-runtime

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --zap --cask gstreamer-runtime

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
