Is it possible to add ubuntu-restricted-extras to ubuntu-software (gnome-software)?
Ubuntu-
I don't know if this can be done easily, but maybe you can hack it somehow?

What is the output of:
lsb_release -a; uname -a
Thanks
Output of `sb_release -a; uname -a`:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful
Linux thanos-GA-970A-DS3 4.11.0-11-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 12 20:40:19 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
gnome-software version 3.25.4-1ubuntu1
Then I suggest you report a bug. Artful is not ready and not stable. There will be feature holes and issues up to (and even a few weeks after) release.
Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
It's in the multiverse repository.
You probably shouldn't be using prereleases. I suggest you wipe the install off and do a clean install of Xenial. Xenial is LTS and supported til April 2021 and will act as you expect
Yes I know that it's in the repositories. It's just isn't shown under the gnome-software. Since gnome-software from version 3.24 (ubuntu 17.04 has still 3.22) has added support for codecs (gstreamer plugins) and fonts under the "Add-ons" category, I was wandering if it is possible to add ubuntu-
But you were right. I created a bug report as a suggestion/request which is more suitable than a question.
Check you have the multiverse repository enabled
Yeah the multiverse repository is enabled and I can find the package using synaptic. Are you saying that you can find it through the gnome-software too?
If you run:
sudo apt-get update
Is it then visible in the GUI application?
No. It has no difference. I haven't fully understood how gnome-software works, but I believe that it needs an application to have an appdata.xml file in order to be listed. Ubuntu-
