I've never used gstreamer before but I'm trying to use it and video4linuxloopback to turn my IPad into a jury-rigged webcam. I have an app that outputs the video from the camera to an IP on the local network but no matter what I did I kept getting an EOS from "pipeline0". When trying to run it with decodebin to see if it could auto-detect what it needed, it says that it needs a plugin for text/html but I can't seem to find it, assuming it exists. Here's the full log
