Hi,

I have Matlab2015a installed on my Linux Machine and I am trying to read .mp4 files using the VideoReader. However I get the following error message: Error using VideoReader/init (line 619) Could not read file due to an unexpected error. Reason: Unable to initialize the video obtain properties.

I am able to play the file using the VLC Media Player so the required codecs should somehow be available. Where should the codecs be stored in order for matlab to use them?

I also tried to convert the mp4 file to avi using MPEG-1 Layer 3 and DivX MPEG4 version 3 decoder. The same error message appears. VLC was able to display the .avi file.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

I think I have found a solution for this problem:

1. According to the doc, VideoReader function needs gstreamer plugin higher than 1.0, so what we

need to do is install gstreamer1.0*

2. what I do is:

 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
 sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0*

That can make MATLAB read mp4 file on my ubuntu 17.10 machine with MATLAB2017b

If this doesn't work immediately, try to restart your MATLAB.

At the time the Question was posed, it was gstreamer 0.1 that was needed; it is only very recently that gstreamer 1.0 was switched to. So be sure to check the documentation for the release you are using.
