Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-05-22 12:08:01 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/115080

"Running Feisty on i386 (Lenovo X60)

I installed gstreamer0.10-gl attempting to fix my video playback (as suggested in bug #98711). Selecting the custom "glimagesink" video output did not work, however (not found).

At any rate, I uninstalled the gstreamer0.10-gl package and now every time I run gstreamer-properties I get this output:

$ gstreamer-properties
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pulsesink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I reinstalled all the gstreamer packages I had installed to no avail. I still seem to be able to play videos but it's annoying that I can't experiment with different video plugins now to try to fix the video issue described in the bug above ...

distribution bug comment:

"I think I found the problem. The GConf key system->gstreamer->0.10->default->videosink was empty. I set it to "autovideosink" and gstreamer-properties works again!"

Confirmed on 2.20.x too

Perhaps this kind of check should be done for all sinks/sources and not only on this one.

agreed, do you want to work on a patch?
Comment 5 Akhil Laddha 2010-12-28 04:42:29 UTC
Has the patch attached in comment#2 committed in source tree ?
Can this bug be closed or are you waiting for any further solution ?
Comment 6 Julien Isorce 2014-10-30 18:34:16 UTC
Should we close this bug since it's related to gstgl-0.10 ? Is it working with 1.x ?
Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2015-01-19 11:46:37 UTC
gnome-media has been obsolete since the release of GNOME 3, nearly 4 years ago. Please file a bug against the applications themselves if the bugs you filed were relevant to particular features.
