I'm not positive about this but I'm quite sure GStreamer looks for
plugins under lib/gstreamer-1.0 in the directory above the one where
gst-launch-1.0 is located. In other words for
root/mybin/gst-launch-1.0.exe, it will look for plugins in
root/lib/gstreamer-1.0. As Keith said, you could add root/mybin to the
GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable and it should work. However I
personally like to keep plugins in a separate directory.
