Missing GStreamer package

MHermann

Hello!

I am using with Qt5.9 with Ubuntu 14.04 (VM ware).

I try to use a Logitech C270 usb webcam.
When I try to compile I am getting the following output:

Error: cannot create camera service, the 'camerabin' plugin is missing for GStreamer 1.6.
Please install the 'bad' GStreamer plugin package.

In meanwhile I installed a lot of gstreamer packages...
Does anybody know which gstreamer package is exactly the one I have to install, to get my application working?

Regards,
MHermann

@MHermann The error message already suggests which package to install.
On Ubuntu 16.04 it is gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad. I think on 14.04 it will be version 0.10.
You can find out the name using

apt-cache search gstreamer | grep bad

@jsulm :

The output of

apt-cache search gstreamer | grep bad

was

gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse - GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set (Multiverse Variant)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse-dbg - GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set (Multiverse Variant)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad - GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set

libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 - GStreamer development files for libraries from the "bad" set
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev - GStreamer development files for libraries from the "bad" set

Then I installed all the packages.

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-bad*
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-*
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-*

But I still get the same error messages than before.
Any more ideas?

MHermann

I checked what packages are installed at the moment.
Maybe there is something wrong?

The output of

apt list --installed | grep gstreamer

is

I tried to remove all GStreamer packages.
But that is not possible. Some of the packages can't be removed because of unmet dependencies.

@MHermann You can try to install all "ugly" plug-ins as well :-)
It is sometimes hard to find out which exact GStreamer package is missing.
