GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in
-
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: m3u8At 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(); } } }OS:

You need the "hlsdemux" plugin that is in "gst-plugins-bad".
-
gst-inspect-1.0 | grep hlsdemux returns: hls: hlsdemux: HLS Demuxer
-
@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.
