Missing asfdemux GStreamer 1.0 plugin

Table of Contents

Description

This GStreamer plugin may be needed by some games and multimedia applications to play ASF, WMA and WMV files.

Resolution

On CrossOver 25 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinggstreamer1asfdemux missinggstreamer1asfdemux.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • For 32-bit Windows applications
    • Debian : apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:i386
    • Fedora : dnf install --best gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free.i686 gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free.x86_64
    • openSUSE : zypper install gstreamer-plugins-ugly-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu gst-plugins-ugly
    • Debian : apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:amd64
    • Fedora : dnf install --best gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free.x86_64
    • openSUSE : zypper install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
