Nicolas,

I've built gstreamer 1.19.3 from git and still don't see any decoder elements:

[gst-main] root@focal-venice:~# dmesg | grep -i hantro

The v4l2jpegenc encoder element is there because I haven't disabled it
from Adam's patch yet.

Is there some debugging you want me to add to gstreamer?

Thanks,

Tim
