Gstreamer Video4Linux missing v4l2h264enc

[Michael Macintosh]

Plugins are in 4 categories:
Core
Good
Bad
Ugly

I think anything h264 related is under ugly because of licensing.

Subject: Gstreamer Video4Linux missing v4l2h264enc

Hi all,

We are new to gstreamer and are struggling with one issue.

We are using gstreamer-1.0 and after installation, we check it with gst-inspect-1.0  and there is video4linux2 that is part of gst-plugins-good package.

However, we are looking for the v4l2h264enc element and this is not present.

Is there something we must do to enable this element ?

I am attaching the output below:
