Issue solved. It seems I needed to add gst-plugins-good as well. Link to github issue on msys2 repo

Gtk4-media-gstreamer doesn't play any videos and still shows the placeholder.

bug

I'm trying to develop an application with gtk4 and want to display a video. Foun…d out that the gstreamer media backend was separated into a separate package `gtk4-media-gstreamer`. I installed it but the video still shows a placeholder image and doesn't play. Is this perhaps related to any missing packages? 1) Install `gtk4-media-gstreamer` by doing `pacman -Syu mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gtk4-media-gstreamer` 2) Run `gtk4-widget-factory` 3) The video in the demo doesn't play ### Expected behavior I should be seeing a video here like so [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Gtk4-widget-factory_demos.png/1200px-Gtk4-widget-factory_demos.png](url) ### Actual behavior The video only shows a placeholder which should be happening when you only install `gtk4` instead of `gtk4-media-gstreamer` ![image](https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/assets/40718428/3c50314c-47e5-4129-a4c6-1fca34aa4c2c) ### Verification - [X] I have verified that my MSYS2 is up-to-date before submitting the report (see https://www.msys2.org/docs/updating/) ### Windows Version MINGW64_NT-10.0-19045 ### MINGW environments affected - [ ] MINGW64 - [ ] MINGW32 - [X] UCRT64 - [ ] CLANG64 - [ ] CLANG32 - [ ] CLANGARM64
