Have you installed the gstreamer plugins, also have you selected the tainted software repos.

I did a search in the current repos (add and remove software )and did a search for gstreamer and nothing showed up. Any other guidance would be helpful tom

Set Add And Remove Software to show "All" instead of "Packages with GUI" as gstreamer isn't a graphical program.

This is an old BUG? that was carried over from Mandriva which no one has addressed.
