You can also use the androidmedia plugin for this, which only uses
public Android APIs (android.media.MediaCodec).

gst-omx will usually not work on an unmodified Android system as you
don't have (exclusive) access to the hardware and probably not the
permissions either.

You have to add the recipe, and add the recipe to the relevant .package
files in the packages directory. Check how it's done for e.g. gst-
plugins-bad.

You will also need a static and a non-static recipe.
