Description
There is a problem that I'm not sure if it's Arista or other related package (like something with Python).
Trying to convert a video from .ogv to webm, and i got a message like:
Required plugin could not be found
Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to support the following multimedia feature: GStreamer element ffdeinterlace
Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and others gstreamer related, but it does not work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the .ogv-to-WebM conversion on Ubuntu 14.04 with Arista 0.9.7-5 and checking how its Python environment discovers the GStreamer ffdeinterlace plugin. Done means the conversion completes without the missing-plugin message, or the issue is narrowed to a specific package or environment dependency.
