    Hi,

    Did you check that you have all plugin packages installed on your distribution ?

      @SGaist
      do you mean Gstreamer plugins?
      i try to follow the tips "Install GStreamre on Ubuntu or Debian" inbelow
      https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/on-linux.html
      but the command fails ,so i do not know exactly how many plugins for GStreamer...

          @JiujiuTong On that page it is:

          apt-get install ....
          

          this for sure cannot work - you need to replace .... with actual package names.
          Looks like GStreamer folks do not like/use Debian/Ubuntu :-)

            It might be something like
            sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
            some also had to do
            apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa

            but it was in older ubuntu. Didnt try in newest.

              i use the following command
              sudo apt-get gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools gstreamer1-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras.
              these plugins seems do not exist.

              so i use sudo apt-cache search gstreamer* , and install many plugins,
              including gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugin-good
              now there is only one warning:
              GStreamer: unable to pause pause- "file:///home/tong/src/Wildlife.wmv"
              warning: no decoder available for type "video/x-ms-asf"
              seems need to install decoders...

              another question:
              As my target is rapsberry pi3,i try to play video with default GStreamer command,the video is not fluency. i need to enable hardware-accelerate when using QT to play video, Does QT support this feature when play video? how to enable it ? thank you !

                  there seems something strange, as Gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is no longer available, when i remove all gstreamer0.1 packages, i try to run my project, there is info:
                  defaultserviceprovider::requestservice(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer".
                  then i reinstall all gstreamer0.1 packages.
                  the info is :
                  GStreamer: unable to pause pause- "file:///home/tong/src/Wildlife.wmv"
                  warning: no decoder available for type "video/x-ms-asf"
                  does it mean QT still use gstreamer0.1 package?
                  but gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly no long available.
                  i have installed gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugin-good.

                        @JiujiuTong Did you activate universe repository?
                        If so then

                        sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
                        

                        should be enough.
                        I'm usually using synaptic graphical tool - you can search for gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly there as well and check whether universe repository is activated.
                        Also you can use

                        apt-cache search gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
                        

                        to search.

                                @JiujiuTong Can you play this file with, for example, VLC?

                                  IIRC, since 5.8 the backend uses GStreamer 1.0. Otherwise, you can re-build the QtMultmedia module yourself against GStreamer 1.0

                                  On a side note, unless you need specific features or bug fixes of more recent versions, why not use your distribution provided Qt for development ?

                                    yes,i can play file with VLC, but there are some other logical with my project, and i need to control playlist and other thing. so i think the best way is use functions provided by QT.

                                      @JiujiuTong I didn't say you should use VLC - I only wanted to know whether the file is broken.
