Rhythmbox is not able to install the MPEG-4 plugin when I import mp4 files into it. It identifies the plugin(Gstreamer), but fails to install it citing package dependency errors as following:

 The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Please try sudo apt-get install -f at the Terminal, as suggested in the above link.

  • I had already tried that and it is not helping. Following is the output: deep@deep:~$ sudo apt-get install -f Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. May 6, 2012 at 9:36
  • May be related to this bug. If you can manually install ffmpeg, vlc, it should also install most of the codecs. Use sudo apt-get install vlc ffmpeg.

  • I had vlc already installed, and this ffmpeg installation went through as well. Nevertheless, that particular plugin installation still fails. May 6, 2012 at 19:35
