This bug was fixed in the package gst-plugins-bad1.0 - 1.26.3-1ubuntu1
---------------
gst-plugins-bad1.0 (1.26.3-1ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium
* Resynchronize with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Don't build wpewebkit plugins
- Stop installing camerabin2 basecamerabin jpegformat - plugins which have
moved to -good.
- Have gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.0.pc Require gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0 -
the package we've moved the referenced plugins to. This maintains
compatibility with upstream software and other distributions.
- Don't build the opencv binary packages on i386, avoiding a large tree
of numeric-related dependencies for a binary package it's not required
to support.
- d/control, d/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad.install, d/rules:
+ Don't require these Build-Depends on i386:
- libltc-dev, libfreeaptx-dev, libqrencode-dev, libzxing-dev, glslc,
liblrdf0-dev, libneon27-dev
* Fixes (LP: #2109413)
gst-plugins-bad1.0 (1.26.3-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New upstream version 1.26.3
* d/copyright: superfluous-file-pattern
* d/copyright: correct SPDX format
* d/copyright: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright
* d/patches: update failing tests
gst-plugins-bad1.0 (1.26.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Revert "d/rules: gstcuda missing on arm" (Closes: #1107628)

Title:
Plugin nvcodec is missing on plucky amd64
Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 source package in Plucky:
Triaged
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* Users expect to find the nvcodec plugin available in the -bad set,
which is used for all sorts of filtering and acceleration tasks
leveraging NVIDIA GPUs.
* Due to a recent packaging bug, which intended to disable this
plugin for ARM platforms, but accidentally enabled it *only* for ARM
platforms, excluding all others, resulting in the original bug report.
* Debian have reverted this exclusion logic entirely, since the
original issues requiring it not be built for ARM platforms have been
resolved.
* This SRU simply cherry-picks the revert of this packaging change,
fixing the bug.
[ Test Plan ]
* To reproduce the bug, from a plucky installation,
$ sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
$ gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so
No such element or plugin
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so'
* With the new package, the gst-inspect-1.0 command should provide
details about the plugin.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* There really isn't any risk to this change, it's simply
reintroducing a missing shared library.

[ Original Bug Report ]
I noticed that on plucky the nvcodec plugin (libgstnvcodec.so) is
missing.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist
(missing)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist
(there)
Upon further inspection I could not find anything in the Changelog
that mentioned any changes to nvcodec. I then noticed that it IS
present in the plucky arm64 build:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/arm64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-
bad/filelist (there)
So I am guessing something went wrong during the build and this went
unnoticed?
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/plucky,now 1.26.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]
