When trying to open a tweet which contains a video corebird crashes with the following error message:

CRITICAL **: MediaVideoWidget.vala:126: Could not create a gtksink. Need gst-plugins-bad >= 1.6

And you have gst-plugins-bad>=1.6?

Yes, I think so

$ rpm -qa gstreamer1-plugins-bad*
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64

welp, can you run something like G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all corebird --gst-debug-level=5 and try opening a video that way? Or if it's too much output, try a lover value?

By opening the tweet you mean clicking on the video preview image, right?

Yes, you're right.

A (hopefully complete) output of your debug command can be found there: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1948249/corebird_debug.txt

fwiw I talked to the maintainer of that package about why gtksnk would be missing (apparently they can just build gst-plugins-bad without it), but I did not get a response yet...

According to the changelog of the latest build of that package it seems the maintainer has fixed that problem:

  • Mon Nov 09 2015 Wim Taymans wtaymans@redhat.com - 1.6.1-2 - Enable more plugins: gtksink, webp, bluez, bs2b, gme, ofa, openal, opencv, openjpeg

Sucks that the check for gstreamer-plugins-bad >= 1.6 is not enough, but I hope other distributions have it enabled...
Anyway, closing this then, reopen it if there are still problems after you received that update.

Tested on Fedora 23 with the update (currently in testing-repo) applied and works fine so far

gst_all_1.gst-plugins-bad: allow building gtksink plugin
0edae74 
Corebird requires gtksink gstreamer plugin to play videos. [1] The plugin,
however, is only built when GTK is available.

This patch adds gtk3 as an optional dependency to gst_all_1.gst-plugins-bad
package, allowing the build of gtksink.
