attach your gstreamer build log.
Created attachment 44003 [details] Build log I hope this is the build log. I asked on the IRC channel but no-one pointed out to me where to find it.
that is a build log correct, but i need the log from 'gstreamer', not gst-plugins.
I re-merged gstreamer and then gst-plugins. Now it works. Problem solved.
