First make sure that pkgconfig is installed (Homebrew: “brew install pkgconfig” ; MacPorts: “sudo port install pkgconfig” ).
with Homebrew: “brew install gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-libav”. This appears to be functionally equivalent to using GStreamer.framework, but causes a large number of extra packages to be installed by Homebrew as dependencies. (However, as of November 2021, Homebrew offers a build of GStreamer for Apple Silicon, which then was not yet available on the offical GStreamer site.)
with MacPorts: “sudo port install gstreamer1-gst-plugins-base gstreamer1-gst-plugins-good gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad gstreamer1-gst-libav”. The MacPorts GStreamer is built to use X11, so must be run from an XQuartz terminal, can use ZOOMFIX, and needs option “-vs ximagesink”. On an older unibody MacBook Pro, the default resolution wxh = 1920x1080 was too large for the non-retina display, but using option “-s 800x600” worked; However, the GStreamer pipeline is fragile against attempts to change the X11 window size, or to rotations that switch a connected client between portrait and landscape mode while uxplay is running. Using the MacPorts X11 GStreamer is only viable if the image size is left unchanged from the initial “-s wxh” setting (also use the iPad/iPhone setting that locks the screen orientation against switching between portrait and landscape mode as the device is rotated).
