So I managed to 'partially' fix problem. Now playbin2 is able to find
my proprietary plugins and plays out the video and audio. Though
uridecodebin still fails with a missing plugin error: No decoder
available for type 'video/x-decoded-ismd'

I have a hunch as to why this was not working before (not sure if that
is indeed the case as uridecodebin still fails to work).

I'm guessing this problem was due to a stale 'registry' file. So i
decided to delete this file and recreate it by running gst-inspect.
This recreated the file and playbin2 started working. Though I have no
idea why the same did not work for uridecodebin element. Any ideas?
