Missing plugin from gst-plugins-bad

[therecycledrobot at gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the GstWPE plugin in GStreamer to experiment with
HTML/web page based overlays (https://github.com/Igalia/gst-wpe-webrtc-demo).
However, I cannot seem to load the plugin, which is contained in the
gst-plugins-bad package.

The machine is Ubuntu 20.04 and I have installed gst-plugins-bad via
"apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad" and have confirmed that it is
indeed installed with version 1.16.2-2.1ubuntu1 (and according to the
documentation, GstWPE has been included in that package since 1.16, so it
should be there).

When I check for the existence of its main element, wpesrc, by running
"gst-inspect-1.0 wpesrc" it returns "No such element or plugin wpesrc".

I have searched wide and far to figure out why it's not working without any
success, including reading
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/additional/design/missing-plugins.html?gi-language=c
but, being a new GStreamer user, I really see anything relevant in there
(although I might be mistaken, and would be happy to be corrected). Is
there a way to enable/disable specific plugins which I have missed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Matt
