      I hope that someone can help with this problem, been searching for a solution for the past 2 days.

      To describe the problem in short: I'm trying to make a simple qt5.7 application that will stream an m3u8 (using Qt Creator (community). But when I try to run it I get a

      Warning: "No decoder available for type 'application/x-hls'."
      Error: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."
      

      "gst-inspect | grep hls"
      returns: typefindfunctions: application/x-hls: m3u8

      At this point I have no idea which plugin can I even miss as I have gone trough the complete GStreamer plugin list and put one after another.
      As far as my search went some got the fix by installing the bad/ugly plugins. Some say that the QT5 still uses gstreamer0.10, but new linux versions use the 1.0 (lost at this point). I tried to set a flag to force the GST_VERSION=1.0, did not work, or I did something wrong (I used the qmake GST_VERSION=1.0 command). Also, I am able to play the video in vlc.
      I am completely stuck, and don't know what to do anymore.

      the app code:

      import QtQuick 2.7
      import QtQuick.Window 2.2
      import QtMultimedia 5.7
      
      Window {
          visible: true
          width: 640
          height: 480
          title: qsTr("Hello World")
      
          Item {
              width: 640
              height: 480
      
              MediaPlayer {
                  id: player
                  source: "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/wowzaid3/chunklist_w249832652.m3u8"
              }
      
              VideoOutput {
                  anchors.fill: parent
                  source: player
              }
      
              Component.onCompleted: {
                  player.play();
              }
          }
      }

        You need the "hlsdemux" plugin that is in "gst-plugins-bad".

            @oniongarlic said in GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in:

            You need the "hlsdemux" plugin that is in "gst-plugins-bad".

            As far as I know qtmultimedia still uses gstreamer0.10 and I don't know how to get "gst-plugins-bad" for that version.

              @lukam should be in the package "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad" or has it been removed from Mint 18 ?

                @oniongarlic Looks like it has been removed from Mint 18 and Ubunutu 16.04 also.

                      Got it fixed by installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad from old repositories.

                        @lukam I seem to have a similar problem. What repositories did you use?

                        Edit: Okay, I seem to have resolved my issue with some other plugins, unfortunately I am not sure which one...

                          I downloaded it from ubuntu trusty (14.04LTS). Probably v5.8 and gstreamer1.0 should fix this issue.

                            Fix for Debian Stretch:

                            1. Getting gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad :
                              1.1 Add jessie source to /etc/apt/sources.list
                            deb http://ftp.ro.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
                            deb-src http://ftp.ro.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
                            

                            1.2 Install the package:

                            sudo apt-get update
                            sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
                            
                            1. Installing MPEG decoder (I needed it to play .mpg files):
                              2.1 From https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/gstffmpeg-keep
                              download gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.13-5ubuntu1~wily_amd64.deb
                              link: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/gstffmpeg-keep/+files/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.13-5ubuntu1~wily_amd64.deb
                              2.2 cd to the download directory
                              2.3 Install it with
                            sudo dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.13-5ubuntu1~wily_amd64.deb
                            
                            1. Install other decoders that you may need
