      Hi,

      Are you sure you have the correct version of GStreamer available ? And the corresponding plugins ?

        Yes I have installed the libgstreamer1.0-dev and its plugins and also I have the old libgstreamer0.10-dev installed in my machine

        VIdeo gets struck inbetween and the error is thrown, so after catching the error and again if I play it starts playing from first

          Hi,

          Which OS are you running? For some reason Qt works with me only with gstreamer0.10 and not with gstreamer 1.0.
          On Linux you should have something like gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg which is for example in Debian not in the current repository.

              Do you have a gstreamer ffmpeg package in Ubuntu? And do you have it installed?

              I'm running Debian Jessie/Stretch and have downloaded a package from deb-multimedia.org .
              All videos and sounds play well from Qt up and until the last version.
