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 ... ...

The program is running. Exit anyway? (y or n) "
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.

Has the patch attached in comment#2 committed in source tree ? Can this bug be closed or are you waiting for any further solution ?
Should we close this bug since it's related to gstgl-0.10 ? Is it working with 1.x ?
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.
