I've tried to play an mp3 file or stream retrieved via http with the following command

gst-launch httpsrc location=http://domain.com/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink

but a get the following error 

ERREUR : le pipeline n'a pas pu être construit : pas d'élément « httpsrc ».

Which says that the pipeline could not be constructed due to the missing of httpsrc element.

After googling around I did not found how to enable/install httpsrc plug-ins

I've tried 

sudo apt-get install gstreamer-httpsrc
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-httpsrc

without success.

I'm using the default gstreamer installation which came with my Ubuntu 12.0.4 distribution.

Do i missing something or Is there any other way to do the same work even witout httpsrc

thanks for any reply !

The element you want to use is called souphttpsrc. You can run gst-inspect | grep http to see all installed elements matching http.

  • may be I miss comething while using It because the following command doesn't work `gst-launch souphttpsrc location=https://www.dropbox.com/s/u3t8s9z1g1au0sb/xmas-songs-end-act4-lyon.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demuxer demuxer. ! queue ! faad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink demuxer. ! queue ! ffdec_h264 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink` – Fopa Léon Constantin Jan 14 '13 at 15:16
  • This mp4 file is not streamable (moov atom order). You first need to download it to be able to play it. – ensonic Jan 22 '13 at 10:21

    When configure script under gst-plugins-good is executed, type: --enable-soup – aloplop85 May 30 '16 at 13:40
