I've just installed gstreamer on my Debian Jessie linux. I actually plan to use it within QtMultimedia framework. And though I'm familiar with vlc...I'm new in gstreamer's world.

I tried to run the following very basic qml program:

Window {
    visible: true

    MediaPlayer {
        id: mediaplayer
        source: "file:///home/kai/Videos/testx264.mp4"
    }

    VideoOutput {
        anchors.fill: parent
        source: mediaplayer
    }

    MouseArea {
        id: playArea
        anchors.fill: parent
        onPressed:
        {

            mediaplayer.play()
            console.log("error = ", mediaplayer.errorString)
        }
    }
}

When I try to play the video, I get the sound but no video. In the application output I get the logs below:

Warning: "No decoder available for type 'video/x-h264, stream-format=(string)avc, alignment=(string)au, level=(string)3.1, profile=(string)high, codec_data=(buffer)0164001fffe1001e6764001fac56240b435f9f016a040402800000030080000032478c18c4c001000668e88e1f2c8b, width=(int)720, height=(int)404, framerate=(fraction)50/1, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, parsed=(boolean)true'."
qml: error =  Cannot play stream of type: <unknown>

However, if I launch gstreamer command line as follow, I can get the video playing correctly:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/home/kai/Videos/testx264.mp4  ! decodebin name=decoder decoder. ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink decoder. ! audioconvert ! pulsesink

I don't really understand what's happening. I was wondering if my version of Qt was maybe statically link with some gst stuff ? I have installed Qt 5.5 with regular Linux installer.

Should I set some specific settings ? Should I recompile a specific Qt component respectively ?

  • [Here](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.5) you can read that default gstreamer is 0.10 not 1.0. – Arpegius May 30 '16 at 21:46
