mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not find component 'vc.ril.camera' Ubuntu mate 20.04 64 bit RPi 4B

[fjp]

Hi, on a Raspberry Pi 4B running Ubuntu Mate 20.04 64 bit I am getting the following error when trying to run gst-launch-1.0 rpicamsrc bitrate=1000000 ! filesink location=test.h264

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not find component 'vc.ril.camera'
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstRpiCamSrc:rpicamsrc0: GStreamer error: state change failed and some element failed to post a proper error message with the reason for the failure.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(3468): gst_base_src_start (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstRpiCamSrc:rpicamsrc0:

raspivid is working and with the following I can stream a video from the RPi:

raspivid -t 0 -h 720 -w 1080 -fps 25 -hf -b 2000000 -o - | gst-launch-1.0 -v fdsrc ! h264parse !  rtph264pay config-interval=1 pt=96 ! gdppay ! tcpserversink host=YOUR_RPI_IP_ADDRESS port=5000

I have installed rpicamsrc following the instructions in the readme:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
make
sudo make install

And I also installed with meson/ninja explained here in #92.

My GStreamer version is 1.16.2

Do you have any hints on how to get this working?

I've got the same issue while trying to install and run this in a 20.04 ubuntu arm7 docker image.

Possible that some of the recent commits in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/-/commits/master/sys/rpicamsrc might be relevant, up to including https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/-/commit/477eba2dd7aff757f34566af28bf2e77c5e4227b (there were some follow-up build fixes to that).
