@catch22 I had the same error just a second ago.
Fixed it by entering strawberry settings and reselecting an output device via dropdown. Hopefully this will help you as well.
Yes it certainly did, super thanks! 
@buffalo said in GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in:
@catch22: Maybe an update to latest version 1.0.3 will help.
I tried a .deb file with the latest version but had the same thing happening.
Then tried the ppa and it persists; although I'm not sure now which one is actually starting, the deb or ppa 
@catch22 Forgot to mention version is 0.9.3
Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3

I've searched for solutions inside the forum and outside as well, but none of the suggestions worked.
Deleting the cache of gstreamer and rebooting does not help; the problem persists with all file types - Strawberry does not play anything anymore all of a sudden.
@jonas said in upgrade 08.3?:
Check that you have ALSA and PulseAudio as options under Output.
Check that your soundcard is listed under device.
Try specifically selecting ALSA or PulseAudio and the device.
Working perfectly now, thank you enormously
@jonas I was looking in the wrong place - settings in Linux Mint
Now I see it is of course within Strawberry; I have 10 options and have no clue which one to pick.
The default was as you see in my attached screenshot.
Another difference with yours is: ALSA plugin hw nore plughw is ticked.
@jonas that looks like very good stuff to know - will investigate it, thanks.
Still, no "Backend" in my settings.
BTW I've never had sound problems with any other player on this machine; mocp, vlc, rhythmbox, audacity..
@jonas I'm on Mint 19.3 - there's nothing called Backend.

You need to install it too using apt or Synaptic.apt install strawberryWorking now, thanks!
But not good.. although it does show as version 09.2, immediately when clicking a song to play, Strawberry freezes up completely again, just as it did in the old version.
This is completely unworkable because it not only freezes the player, but the whole pc - I have to cold start the whole desktop every time.

@sherd I removed Strawberry via Synaptic and then installed the ppa and updated. No error messages, but I don't see it in the list of programs and typing "strawberry" in terminal says "command not found".
I have strawberry 08.3 on my Linux Mint 19.3 and according to Synaptic it is the most recent one, but I know there are later releases already.
Strawberry freezes regularly and is therefore unreliable at present.
Can I somehow force an upgrade to cure the freezing?
@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:
You can attach them here or send them to me on e-mail. I think my e-mail is listed on the profile (and in the about of Strawberry).
Thanks Jonas.
I can't upload them here - not enough rights apparently.
As workaround I looked up your address via your Github site and sent a private message from my gmail account (subject "strawberry").
@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:
I can't explain that. It works as expected when testing here.
I can send you the 2 xspf-files to compare, if you like?
@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:
It's based on same artist, album and title.
In that case something is wrong.
I compared playlists before and after.
10 Songs were deleted, whereas there was only one duplicate, not ten.
What are the criteria in Strawberry to define tracks as duplicates?
"Remove duplicates from playlist" deletes way too many tunes.
