I am running a Python script in Ubuntu. The script uses gstreamer. I get the following error message.

error: no element "h264parse"

Let me know if any other information would be helpful.

h264parse is part of the "gst-plugins-bad" , you will want to install them through your package manager, if your script imports Gst from gi.repository you will want the 1.0 plugins, the 0.10 otherwise.

Have a nice day :)

Thanks Mathieu, I'm new to Unbuntu and Python so I'm not sure how to install gst-plugins-bad. I tried sudo apt-get install gst-plugins-bad and I also tried adding python-pip to the end of the same command line. Or, do I download the zip file from git and then what it the command for installing from the downloaded files/folder?
apt-cache search gst-plugins-bad should show you available packages. You can then apt-get install the relevant one.
apt-cache search gst-plugins-bad just returns to the command prompt without any information
ok, I figured that out, I think I got gst-plugins-bad installed but now I am getting the error message: no element ffdec_h264
part of gst-plugins-ffmpeg (now called gst-libav)
