Cannot load any images or videos anymore #128

This program used to work completely fine for me, but not today. I'm running the standalone version on an Arch-based linux install so I wonder if it has to do with some undocumented dependency or an incompatible version of some library it depends on.

Any time I try to load any file, I get an error message at the top of the window that says Error loading video: Failed to find element factory with name 'autoaudiosink' for creating element. Why an audio-related error happens even when loading still images with no audio is beyond me, so I tried running the program with a terminal to see if I get more verbose error output, but the terminal gives bupkus.

I'd appreciate any clues as to what's going on under the hood.

You're probably missing some GStreamer plugins. Make sure you have gst-libav, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, and gst-plugins-ugly installed.

Hmm, I was almost certain the blanket "gstreamer" package in the official arch repositories installs all of these things automatically but it turns out I was missing gst-plugins-good while having everything else. Pretty odd but explicitly installing that has solved the issue, thanks!
