The problem that I am facing is that we put the plugins into a non-standard directory and gstreamer can't seem to find them. This is the same directory as our current system that works well. I have briefly looked into the gstreamer code and there is a rich logging system implemented that should help me find my error. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I have been looking at gstinfo.h and set the GST_LEVEL_DEFAULT to GST_LEVEL_LOG, I have verified that the DISABLE_DEBUG and DISABLE_GST_DEBUG at not set. The only part of the logging that I don't understand is the component part, so that may be what is blocking me. Would someone please give me some guidance in getting this to work?
