Error using VideoReader/init (line 619)

When I run the command
v = VideoReader('xylophone.mp4');
I get the following error:
Error using VideoReader/init (line 619)
The VideoReader plugin libmwgstreamerplugin failed to load properly.
Error in VideoReader (line 172)
obj.init(fileName);
Doing some search for a solution I came across http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1246784. However, this bug was supposed to be fixed in R2016b. I am currently running R2017a. The MATLAB version of the stdc++ library is libstdc++.so.6.0.20 and the OS version is libstdc++.so.6.0.19.
Can you please help troubleshoot?

I am having the same problem.
I'm having this issue starting with 2016b (and 17a). 2016a seems to work on RHEL6 (stdc++ 6.0.13), without the workaround. The same workaround is suggested by https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1531964
Judging by various bug reports (992019,1246784,1531964), looks like this is a recurring issue with many versions of MATLAB.

I am facing the exact issue. My OS is CentOS 6.9 (Final) and VideoReader never works. I have tried Matlab R2014a, then R2017a without any luck. I have installed any available gstreamer plugins as following:

gstreamer.x86_64 0.10.29-1.el6 @base gstreamer-ffmpeg.x86_64 0.10.11-1.el6.rf installed gstreamer-plugins-bad-free.x86_64 0.10.19-5.el6_8 @base gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base.x86_64 0.10.29-2.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201311272149.x86_64/6.5 gstreamer-plugins-good.x86_64 0.10.23-4.el6_8 @base gstreamer-tools.x86_64 0.10.29-1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201311272149.x86_64/6.5 phonon-backend-gstreamer.x86_64 1:4.6.2-28.el6_5 @updates

Matlab please help us solve this issue.

I tried the Workaround https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1531964 but it didnt work im on Ubuntu 20.04 with R2016a update. i have libstdc++so.6.0.28 & libstdc++so.6 i already disabled libstdc++so.6.0.17 by renaminng it to libstdc++.so.6.0.17.old that is in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/sys/os/glnxa64/ to view .fig files.
now i am unable to import videos bcoz of gstream plugin error

OK, I solved the issue by compiling my own gstreamer-1.0 libraries. The issue is caused by Matlab R2017a libmwgstreamerplugin depends on libgstreamer-1.0. The full solution is not as simple as copying few files or run few commands. Please refer to my blog and pick the parts you need http://sizeofinfinity.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/fix-matlab-videoreader-plugin.html.

Thanks for looking into it and posting the solution.
Thanks for accepting the answer and hopefully my 5 cents contribution can help solving your issue too.
This will solve the problem in Centos but same problem I'm facing with Linux. What should I do now?
IS THERE A GENERIC SOLUTION TO ALL DISTROS .deb based ? i tried installing all packages @ last directly from apt didnt resolve the videoreader issue.
