Hello all, I am trying to install gstreamer plugins on ubuntu. I did the following steps to install good,bad,ugly and base plugins from gstreamer: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base All these executed with no error message. To confirm the packages are at latest version, when I tried again, I get following message with each one of them. Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gstreamer0.10-plugins-base is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb pidgin-data Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 217 not upgraded. Now when I do gst-inspect | grep osssink, I don't find any results. same happening with some other plugins also e.g. alsasink, oggdemux etc. Can someone please help me? thanks, Harshada.
