You can use playbin with static plugins. This is done with GStreamer on
Android and iOS for example.
However you will have to declare and register all static plugins that
would ever be used by playbin in your application beforehand and also
link to all of them.

Can you provide a debug log with GST_DEBUG=*:2,playbin*:9,decodebin*:9
and attach it to this mail? You seem to be missing a plugin but seeing
that from the logs will be easier than guessing from your code.
