The default Gstreamer version on Raspberry Pi 3 is 1.4.4.

This is guide to build gstreamer from scratch. Building takes more 1h.

Btw, I already built some version, so you can extract it to use.

Note

From gst-plugin-bad v1.3.1, glimagesink replaces eglglessink, and glimagesink does not automatically scale video to fit screen

Build from scratch

1. Uninstall default gstreamer 1.0

sudo apt-get remove gstreamer1.0
sudo apt-get remove gstreamer-1.0

2. Build

chmod +x gstreamer-build.sh
./gstreamer-build.sh

After building success:

Header is in /usr/local/inlude/gstreamer-1.0

Lib is in /usr/local/lib

3. Config

Copy header

sudo cp -r /usr/local/include/gstreamer-1.0 /usr/include/

Note:

In some version gstconfig.h is not in /usr/local/include/gstreamer-1.0/gst/ but in /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/include/gst.

Must copy it to /usr/include/gstreamer-1.0/gst/

To link lib

sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf

Add

include /usr/local/lib

Link

sudo ldconfig

Using prebuilt

1. Delete old build

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/gstreamer-1.0
sudo rm -rf  /usr/include/gstreamer-1.0

# Remove only gstreamer, in my case it has only gstreamer lib
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/*

2. Extract version you want & copy into file system

sudo cp -r bin/* /usr/local/bin
sudo cp -r gstreamer-1.0 /usr/local/include
sudo cp -r lib/* /usr/local/lib

3. Build config (Same build above, if not)

4. Check

gst-launch-1.0 --version

Using eglglesink in later version

1. Copy

After install later version

cd gstreamer-1.2.4
sudo cp -r gstreamer-1.0/gst/egl/ /usr/include/gstreamer-1.0
sudo cp -r lib/*gl* /usr/local/lib/
sudo cp lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgsteglglessink.* /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/
