Gstreamer on Mac Plugins not working

I have some serious issues with GStreamer on my Mac OS X 10.10.3 System. I installed gstreamer, gst-libav, -python, -validate, gst-plugins-base, -good, -bad, -ugly via Homebrew

but the only working example for me right now is:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideosink

If I try something like this:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! jpegenc ! rtpjpegpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5200

I get an error: no element >>jpegenc<<

Does anyone have a clue how I get this to work?

I ran into this problem as well. Here is the solution:

brew install gst-plugins-good  --with-jpeg

Turns out that while jpegenc is included in the 'good' plugins, it is not installed by default by homebrew. You have to specify --with-jpeg

This is the output of brew info. As you can see, jpeg support is not the only thing that is not installed by default with homebrew.

$ brew info gst-plugins-good
