Make sure to install all the necessary gstreamer packages on your system to fully utilize the advanced media player feature. Once you have opened or mounted the DMG image, simply hold down the Control key and click on the galacteek icon.

It may be necessary to adjust the security settings to allow installations from any source. Docker images are also available, providing a seamless experience with a fully functional GUI within a virtual Xorg server (using Xvfb).
