It might be blacklisted for some reason, check with 


  gst-inspect-1.0 -b

Run this:

  gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvideoparsersbad.so

to see if it shows any warnings or criticals that explain why it's not
getting loaded/picked up.

I suspect you don't have /usr/local/lib/ in your /etc/ld.so.conf* or in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and it either picks up an older version of
libgstcodecparsers-1.0 where there are some symbols missing or it can't
find it. That's just a wild guess though.
