Your mail is very difficult to read, please don't use nabble and also
insert some more newlines into your text in the future :)

Your problem is most likely that the gstreamer-imx plugin was not
compiled as a static GStreamer plugin. You have to check how to enable
that with their build system, but in the end it means #defining
  GST_PLUGIN_BUILD_STATIC
during the build.
