x265enc element not working

[Matthew Figueroa]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to add x265 support to my build of Gstreamer 1.14.0 for Windows.  For my build I used the cerbero build system.

I've built libx265 version 2.8 from 
https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/wiki/Home

I then added the "--enable-x265" configuration option to my gst-plugins-bad-1.0 build.  It successfully compiled and linked the libgstx265.dll plugin.

However, when I attempt to run "gst-inpect-1.0.exe x265enc" it silently exits without printing any information.

I increased my GST_DEBUG value to 4 and generated the following output.

I'm not sure why it exits here silently.  I can inspect the x264 encoder and that works as expected.

Is there something I'm missing?  Do I need to rebuild any other gstreamer libraries or plugins to get the x265 encoder to function?

Thank you for the help.

Matt
