How do I get the gstreamer plugins--windows

I now installed gstreamer 1.0 from gstreamer.freedesktop.org and going through their tutorials.

I am facing a problem though, my gst_element_factory_make() calls are failing and I think it is the plugin path problem as suggested here : Gstreamer : gst_element_factory_make() : always fail and return NULL : Qt5

But I can't find a plugin directory in my gstreamer install directory .Can anyone suggest how I can get those plugins so I can set the path? Do I need to download them separately? (A link would be helpful if any).I am new to gstreamer and multimedia programming in general. I apologize if this is obvious.

Thank you for your time.

I don't know where does the plugins got installed for your system (windows, right?). You can search for the folder that has the plugin libs. Search for libgstplayback.so/.dll or libgstcoreelements.so/.dll and you should find it. It is likely under the folder you selected for installation but I don't know what is the default.

Then just use the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to point to that and run your application.
