    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.

    Are you sure: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ?
    Did you activate "universe", "restricted" and "multiverse" repositories?

        @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.

          i have checked the four repositories in system settings ->software& updates->ubuntu software tab.
          but failed to run sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
          info:
          Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is not available, but is referred to by another package.
          This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
          is only available from another source

          E: Package 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' has no installation candidate

              is there anyway to combine the QT with gstreamer1.0 ?

                  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.

                            It depends on what you need, either use the Qt from your distribution or indeed a more recent version. Current is 5.8.0 and 5.9Beta2 is available.

                              well ,Thank you
                              i will try to compile QT5.7.1 against GStreamer 1.0. can you give me some instructions? thank you!
                              another thing is how to support hardware-accelerate? or it support it by default,but the default behavior of Gstreamer seem not enable hardware-accelerate.
                              my project finally runs on raspberry pi3, i do a lot efforts to make the QT5.7 deployed on rpi3. i'm worried about QT5.8....
                              i find a description:
                              1,install gstream1.0*
                              install libgstreamer1.0*
                              2, cd qt5.7.1
                              run ./configure -gstreamer 1.0
                              make
                              make install
                              is it right?

                                You don't need to re-build everything, if you already have a build then just re-build the QtMultimedia module.

                                      Is that on your Pi or on your desktop ? If on your Pi then there's something strange since it talks about a i386 version of the package and the Pi is an ARM based machine.

                                        @JiujiuTong said in Qt multimeia GStreamer-Critical error!:

                                        gstreamer1.0-hybris:i386:Depends: libmedia1:i386

                                        Are you trying to install x86 (32bit) version?
