Subject: [PATCH] Add GStreamer codec docs, fix connection indicator reactivity

Add GStreamer codec dependencies to PKGBUILD and install instructions
to README for Linux video/audio playback. Add periodic relay pool
status check so connection indicator stays accurate after reconnects.

 **Windows note:** The installer is not yet code-signed. Windows SmartScreen will show an "Unknown publisher" warning — click "More info → Run anyway" to install.
 
+**Linux note:** Video and audio playback requires GStreamer codec packages. The AUR package installs these automatically. For `.deb`/`.rpm` installs, you may need:
+```bash
+# Arch / Manjaro
+sudo pacman -S gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-libav
+
+# Ubuntu / Debian
+sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-libav
+
+# Fedora
+sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-libav
+```
