Description Amir Caspi 2008-07-09 09:49:27 UTC 
Maybe I'm just being dumb, but:

gst-inspect-0.10 --gst-plugin-path=<dir1>:<dir2>:<etc>

fails to find any plugins if multiple directories are given.  If I include only a single directory (dir1), gst-inspect will find all plugins in that directory.  If I include multiple directories, gst-inspect finds only "staticelements" for some reason.

The paths I'm supplying are proper, and I tried both with and without quotes... no success.

Is this a bug or am I just missing something obvious?

I should note that gst-inspect works just fine if the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is set, even if that variable has multiple directories.  It's only the command-line "--gst-plugin-path" option that causes failure.
