Gstreamer Error: pipeline could not be constructed: no element “v4l2src”

Question

Am using Ubuntu(14.04) and I am getting this error while trying to use gstreamer.

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src !  video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 !  x264enc ! h2         


        

Answer 1

I'm using a gstreamer-1.0 on Raspberry and I was having the same issue. As I was running out of options I've tried to install also the 0.10 plugins and unexpectedly it works.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

my 2 cent ^_^

EDIT: Well, actually it doen't work yet, but at least it's giving me a different error :)

EDIT 2: It was a syntax error, It actually works for me :)
