push opengl texture to gstreamer pipeline

Dear Matt,
Thank you very much for your response. It helped me to understand that
using  'wrapped' OpenGL context is a wrong direction to go :)

*WRT Suggestion 1:*
Do I understand correctly that I need to get local context from gstreamer
and pass it to opengl rendering thread? (I have a rendering thread where I
set OpenGL|ES context and screen stuff).
GstGLContext* mContext = nullptr;
g_object_get(state->gldownload, "context", &mContext, NULL);
guintptr handle;
handle = gst_gl_context_get_gl_context(mContext); // is this correct?
state->context = (EGLContext)handle; // state->context is EGLContext type;
And then use state->context in OpenGL|ES?
Do I need to get and pass window and display from gstreamer to my rendering
thread as well?
Although my use scenario is different from this one - I need to pass
context from OpenGL to Gstreamer.

*WRT Suggestion 2:*
gst_gl_display_create_context accepts *other_context *argument, should the
*other_context *be the 'wrapped' context?

Best Regards,
Lusine
