I’m using GStreamer with Go, and GStreamer is configured to look for plugins in the “.” root folder where the whole project is located.
Up until now everything always worked, but ever since I updated to version 1.28.4, I keep getting errors saying that elements like avdec_g722, avdec_h264, avdec_h265, etc. don’t exist. My entire environment is installed via MSYS2/UCRT64, and I copied the necessary dependencies (DLLs) from ucrt64/bin and ucrt64/lib/gstreamer-1.0 into that root folder so the .exe could find them.
Is there a way to find out exactly which DLL files are needed to create these elements — maybe something changed between versions 1.28.1 and 1.28.4?

All these files that are listed as missing are already present inside the root folder.
