Problem with bpd on MacOs

Help
1

I did a fresh install of beets, installed gstreamer and pygobject3, and added bpd to the plugins in the config.yaml. But I get the following when running ‘beet bpd’:

error: Could not create playbin

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
beets version 1.4.3
Python version 2.7.13
plugins: bpd

Looks like I’ve got version 1.10.4 of gstreamer, and 3.24.1 of pygobject3.

==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides an older sqlite3.

If you need to have this software first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/sqlite/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For compilers to find this software you may need to set:

The error is encountered in beets/beetsplug/bpd/gstplayer.py

    # Set up the Gstreamer player. From the pygst tutorial:
    # http://pygstdocs.berlios.de/pygst-tutorial/playbin.html
    ####
    # Updated to GStreamer 1.0 with:
    # https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0
    self.player = Gst.ElementFactory.make("playbin", "player")

    if self.player is None:
        raise ui.UserError("Could not create playbin")

But I’m afraid I don’t know anything about this component.

Any help is appreciated.

Errors like this usually mean that you’re missing the gstreamer plugins (core, good, bad, and ugly).
