[SOLVED]GStreamer installation is missing a plugin

In gnome tracker, I get the following error,

"Call to gst_discoverer_discover_uri() failed: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

This leads to none of my files being processed by gnome extract. That leads to none of the local files are displayed in gnome documents and that application is useless now.

Any idea which plugin might be missing? How do I go about checking it?

Edit: I reinstalled gstreamer plugins (including good, bad and ugly) and that seemed to solve the issue.

Re: [SOLVED]GStreamer installation is missing a plugin

I would do pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins. If you have them all installed, pacman will say up-to-date reinstalling etc. Reinstalling altogether may help anyway or this could be a bug .

You could also remove / rename ~/.gstreamer-0.10 so its being reinitialized

To solve this problem do the following:
1)

rm -rf ~/.gstreamer-0.10 

2) Logout and login back again.
3) Enjoy!
