I wrote a video player with Qt and when I tried to run it, this error occurred,

Error: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in"

This issue can be fixed by running the following command,

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

My question is, what happened after the installation? What things are installed in my computer? I'd like to find this missing plug-in so I can package it into my .deb. I think it must be a .so file, but I just don't know which one.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

dpkg -L gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg will tell you the package's contents. But since you're building your own deb, I would strongly recommend to specify gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg as a dependency, instead of packaging the plugin; if gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already installed, the installation of your package would fail since dpkg will refuse to overwrite the file (a single file can't be owned by more than one package).
