Clementine says missing gstreamer plugin when I try to play a .m4a file. Totem and Rhythm Box play it fine.

$ wajig listinstalled gstreamer0.10
gstreamer0.10-alsa:amd64
gstreamer0.10-nice:amd64
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base:amd64
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:amd64
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly:amd64
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio:amd64
gstreamer0.10-x:amd64
libgstreamer0.10-0:amd64

I'm on Trusty, Clementine was great on Precise, so keen to get it working again.

You need to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, and possibly remove your ~/.gstreamer-0.10/ folder, which is in your user's directory

Thanks! The package is called gstreamer-plugins-bad on Fedora. – Daniel Jonsson Apr 13 '15 at 9:58

Not working on ubuntu 15.04 – wim Jun 5 '15 at 16:28
    
After installing the 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad' package on my Ubuntu 14.04 I only had to restart Clementine. Fiddling with the $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/ folder was not necessary in my case. – pefu Aug 10 '15 at 15:08

In Ubuntu 16.04 you need to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad. – user539005 May 3 '16 at 15:04

In my case gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad had already been installed but I still couldn't play m4a-files.

After installing 1.3.2 rc1 for Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04) from https://builds.clementine-player.org/ it worked.
