When I run gst-inspect my_custom_plugin i get a "No such element or plugin 'my_custom_plugin'. I tried to delete ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.x86_64.bin and then run gst-inspect but still the custom plugin (i.e. decklinksrc) is not registering.

If you want to check that, ldd can tell you what a binary and I assume 
shared library need to run, it will also show if it can't find required 
libs.

The other bit I would be suspect about is whether the gstreamer plugin 
requires the device to be 'present' in some way that it is not on your 
system?

Just random thoughts.
