How do I install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg on Ubuntu 14.10?

Question

Is it possible to install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg needed for Clementine on Ubuntu 14.10? (see Clementine won't play .wma, with "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin" error)

Answer 1

The user who maintains the PPA mentioned in those answers also has a PPA exclusively for gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. So do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/gstffmpeg-keep
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
