I'm trying to cross-compile GStreamer. Version is 1.2.3. Host PC's OS is x86 linux and Target system's OS is MIPSEL linux OS.
I succeeded to compile gstreamer and plugins for target device. And gst-launch-1.0 could be executed. So I tried to use basic plugin, libgstvideotestsrc. But it didn't work. So I ran ```gst-inspect-1.0' to inspect plugins then I found the result like below.
# gst-inspect-1.0 -b

I wonder the meaning of 'blacklisted' and how I should approach this problem. Please let me know if you need several information to resolve this issue.

if you want to know for sure why these plugins are blacklisted, you can remove "registry.dat" (run locate to find out its location), then rerun gst-inspect , the plugins will be examined once again and the reason for blacklisting them should be printed.
There can be several reasons why they are blacklisted, if you do this you should find them out.
Alternatively, you can also run gst-inspect location_of_the_dynamic_library.so
I found the reason. It's GLIB, not GStreamer.
To build GLIB for mipsel, I should set glib_cv_uscore=no. It's up to your embedded device. So please check your target hardware's CPU specification. So I made the build script for GLIB like below.
#Glib 2.42.1
wget ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.42/$GLIB.tar.xz
tar xf $GLIB.tar.xz
cd $GLIB
#Build for MIPS
echo "ac_cv_func_posix_getgrgid_r=yes" > mips.cache
echo "ac_cv_func_posix_getpwuid_r=yes" >> mips.cache
echo "glib_cv_stack_grows=no" >> mips.cache
echo "glib_cv_uscore=no" >>mips.cache
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_PATH --host=$HOST --cache-file=mips.cache --build=$BUILD
make
make install
cd ..
I got the clue from here.
For gstreamer 1.8 gst-inspect-1.0 need to be launcged with additional GST_DEBUG=4 env var to view detailed reason (incompatible version in my case):
GST_DEBUG=4 gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgst_some_plugin.so
...15-20 lines with non-interesting details...
