I am building a custom build of GStreamer 1.24.2 for Debian bookworm / arm64 to run in Docker. So far, I managed to build it, and even my application builds and runs fine with it, but I will also need the wpevideosrc plugin for future development. I see that my build does not produce the wpe plugin at all. I can’t find any reference to the wpe plugin in the Cerbero repo, which makes me think it is impossible to build this plugin without going the extra mile.

I see that this plugin is installable in Debian via the gstreamer1.0-wpe package, but I can’t find how to build it, as I need a different version.

Thanks for any help!

Here’s an excerpt from my Dockerfile showing the Cerbero build process.
