--- Comment #1 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
This is Windows-only and behaviour caused by
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module(). It considers the
installation directory the one that is the parent directory of the DLL after
skipping all "bin" and "lib" directories.

Adding just ../lib/gstreamer-1.0 relative to the parent directory as another,
additional search path if it is different from the above and the above is not
found could be done. It is important to keep backwards compatibility.


Also this is not really a "major" bug but a feature request. It is all working
as documented and you are using a custom directory structure, so first of all
you'll have to work around that and probably also run into similar problems
with other libraries (e.g. GIO not finding the TLS module).
