Error from video library in Ubuntu 16.04

gilFuser

Hi there

I'm getting an error when trying to use the video library using Capture in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 in a 64 bits machine. Actually I tried in two different machines with fresh installs and got the same results.

I have searched a lot in the internet for a solution and could not find it.

The error says to "'Run Sketches on Display' preference to display 1" but in the preferences I have this like so: run.display=1 which I think is what it is mentioning.

Setting 'Run Sketches on Display' preference to display 1
UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'gst_date_get_type': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0.800.0: undefined symbol: gst_date_get_type
A library relies on native code that's not available.
Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 32-bit application.

I'm really out of ideas. Someone out there know what I have to do or have a direction to point me?
It will be much appreciated.

best regards,
Gil

OK. I got it. I used Synaptic to see if some gstreamer related packages looked like it could be needed. I installed good and bad plugins and the dev ones. And voilá! It worked!

just to complement gil's answer, the libgstreamer 0.10 version must be installed. plugins-base, dev, and good for version 0.10 is what worked for me.

Hi,

I have the same error with ubuntu 17.04.

I have installed good and bad plugin, the dev ones and libgstreamer 0.10 and it still doesn't work :(

Someone has an idea ?

Thanks, enuts

The video library is forgotten in the basement, under a pile of stuff

I've been helping someone recently putting together a few pull requests to get some required features in the upstream GStreamer 1.x bindings, so hopefully not quite forgotten.

Hi @neilcsmith_net that's good news!

@gilFuser I'm having the exact same problem and your suggested solution isn't working for me. Can anyone help?
