Error:
While try to play .mp4 files in Ubuntu 11.10, it will search for the missing plugin and tries to find in repository. After taking a quit time it shows the error like 'quicktime demuxer not found'.
Reason:
Reason:
qtdemux plugin is moved
from bad to good in this update and renamed to isomp4 according to
changelogs, but it looks like the relevant mapping were not updated. So
that it is trying to open files with that muxer in Ubuntu 11.10
(gst-plugins-good0.10 version 0.10.30-1ubuntu7) and fails with the
message "quicktime demuxer" plugin can not be found.
Solution:
To remove the existing plugin mapping from the system,
Remove the configuration file by,
$ rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.bin
otherwise rename it like,
$ mv ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.bin ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.bin.org
Now play the same video again and see it will works.
Note : This is tested under Ubuntu 11.10.
