Backporting Qt once Qt 5.5.x makes it to testing. There is no other way around for that. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

If you use that version, it should be able to use gstreamer1.0-libav for h264 decoding. If that doesn't work, you're probably running into a bug somewhere in Qt as it seems to work fine for all other GStreamer 1.x apps that we currently have :) Ah ok. I thought that gstreamer1.0-libav was somehow a direct replacement for gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. It is the successor of gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, yes. Same code really. But you need to use GStreamer 1.x to be able to use it, which Qt before 5.5 didn't. I will check that with Qt5.5 However in Jessie, there is currently no possibility to decode H.264 videos from qt, since gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is required for that. Do you have an idea how we could fix this? Get rid of Qt 5.4 :) gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is not going to come back, actually all of GStreamer 0.10 is going to disappear soon hopefully. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It is also worth mentioning, that the current state of qt5-multimedia does not allow decoding H.264 videos using the Qml Video element. The package needs gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg to successfully play h.264 videos from Qt applications. qstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is no longer available in jessie or sid. One has to import oldstable into sources.list and set appropriate pinnings to allow installing this package. I think this is related to the mentioned request to use gstreamer1.0. I noticed there is a gstreamer1.0-libav package, but it does not allow for h.264 playback in Qt. Qt 5.5 is the first version that adds support for GStreamer 1.x.
