Hi, Thanks a lot guys, export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ did the trick. I still have a question about the registry.CPU.xml file under ~/gstreamer-0.10. What is his purpose? It should list all the installed plugins, and since my make install rule executed successfully I would expected to add the plugin in the registry, but obviously this was not the case.

Chances are that the default prefix (/usr/local/) was used, so your plugin got installed into /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/, while you're using GStreamer packages which usually go into the /usr prefix and will only look in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ for plugins. You could try a) copying the plugin .so into ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/ b) use export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ c) re-run autogen.sh or configure with --prefix=/usr (not recommended) Cheers -Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
