Unable to start webcam via Cheese: cluttervideosink missing

7,778

After reading this redhat bugzilla : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047389

it came to the part where the dev team suggested this:

rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin 

this worked for me... :)

    I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 64bit on my HP DM4 laptop. Also, I have gstreamer1.0-clutter installed. Still getting the error

    One or more needed GStreamer elements are missing: cluttervideosink

    BTW, googling for clutter-video will remove "video" from the search results.

    Nope. Doesn't work. E: Package has no installation candidate for both. Thanks anyways

    Hmm.. There are some packages like 'gstreamer-plugins-good' 'gstreamer-plugins-bad' 'gstreamer-plugins-ugly'. Maybe one of those?
