Hi,
My application requires gst-plugin-rs gstreamer plugins bundled into the Flatpak. I’m using the org.gnome.Sdk runtime, which does not contain those plugins by default, so I need to build and install them myself.
I can build the plugins just fine, but I am unable to install the libraries into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0 directory, because that directory is read-only. Installing those plugins in /app directory does not make them discoverable by gstreamer.
Is there some proper way to bundle the gstreamer plugins?
Below is the fragment of the manifest that I am using to build the plugins. generated-sources.json was generated with the flatpak-cargo-generator.py tool.
