Hi,

I suspect most people tend to just copy'n'paste an existing plugin that
works similarly, search/replace and then strip it down to the bare
GStreamer/GObject skeleton bits ;)

gst-template has been ported to Meson now fwiw, so could be used as
skeleton.

There's also this MR which updates gst-project-maker to meson:

HDMI capture sources can be a bit tricky, depending on the API you're
using, at least if you want both audio and video (see e.g. the decklink
elements and how they're split into audio source and video source).

What API/Hardware are you targetting here?

This repo has capture elements for miscellaneous hardware, fwiw:
