Hi @anespa,

did you mean “bad” plugins, you can search for them here:

https://pkgs.org/download/libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-0

Hi @wolfman,
I mean “ugly” plugins, and looking for latest 16.04 Ubuntu (for Gstreamer 0.1) support.

Hi,

use the 15.10 packages, they should work, simply install them with Gdebi:

https://pkgs.org/download/gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

Hi @wolfman,

I tried using that package using 2 ways:

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-0

then got error as

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package ‘gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly’ has no installation candidate

and then download the .deb and try to install Gdebi
got error as
Error : Dependency is not satisfiable : libsidplay1

Trying to install libsidplay1 also not working…

any idea

Thanks.

Try the packages here, install with Gdebi!:

Hi @wolfman,

But when I try to install libsidplay1v5 got as it’s already installed as:

insight@insight-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install libsidplay1v5
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
libsidplay1v5 is already the newest version (1.36.59-8).
libsidplay1v5 set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 39 not upgraded.

But still that problem of
Error : Dependency is not satisfiable : libsidplay1
exist.

Thanks.

Hi @wolfman,

I tried your solution in Debian 8.4.0 installation , by installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly_0.10.19-2.1_i386.deb that error regarding ‘mad’ is gone. Thanks alot.
But there is another error message as:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”

conv = gst.element_factory_make(“audioconvert”, “converter”)

How to fix this ?

Try installing the following?:

https://pkgs.org/download/gstreamer1.0-alsa

I have no idea about “alsasink” as it doesn’t show in the packages lists at https://pkgs.org/ !. :smiley:
