Description Tim-Philipp Müller 2009-12-18 15:27:50 UTC 
$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/tpm/samples/foobar.amr
-------------
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...

WARNING: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: No decoder available for type 'audio/AMR-WB, channels=(int)1, rate=(int)16000'.

Additional debug info:
gsturidecodebin.c(684): unknown_type_cb (): /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0

ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

It would be nice if decodebin2 could post an error message saying what decoders are missing (using pbutils).
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-12-19 07:13:06 UTC 
Same goes for playsink, playbin2 and uridecodebin (they post their own messages in some cases)
Comment 2 Edward Hervey 2018-05-04 10:04:47 UTC 
still valid.
