    You can try to run ldd on the plugins/libraries on your device to see if something is missing

      Have you ensured that you have following packages installed?
      libgstreamer0.10-dev
      libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
      gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
      gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

        Thanks again

        But I didn't solve my problem yet.

        I tried ldd on my plugin ( libphonon_gstreamer.so): look okay right? libphonon.so.4 => /lib/libphonon.so.4 (0x4036c000)
        libQtGui.so.4 => /lib/libQtGui.so.4 (0x403bb000)
        libQtNetwork.so.4 => /lib/libQtNetwork.so.4 (0x40d05000)
        libQtCore.so.4 => /lib/libQtCore.so.4 (0x40dfb000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x41150000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x41172000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x41244000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x412e7000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x41310000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4144d000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4145b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.3 (0x2a000000)

        Btw in included the plugin, libffi and libgstreamer-0.10 like this , is that okay?

        LIBS += -L/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/ -lphonon_gstreamer

        LIBS += -L/opt/x/lib/ -lffi -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgstbase-0.10

        I also included after i read shrikantds post libgstbase (good and bad are optional for the gstreamer aren't they?) but sadly nothing...

        I am really sorry I didn't figured it out yet...

          You should rather have copied your QtEmbedded in the same folders on your arm device (libs and plugins and fonts). Meaning in /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbbeded-4.8.4.

              You also have to copy the plugins dir (at least the content that you use)

                  Just to be sure: did you made a typo here with "plugin" ? Otherwise it's "plugins"

                    /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend

                      Ok, then next step:
                      set this
                      @QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1@
                      on your command line before starting your application, that should give you the plugin loading error

                        First of all thank you very much for your help SGaist, that's really great and very nice :)

                        But I tried export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 befor starting my application, but nothing special happens (i also tried on my deveopment system, nothing, too)

                        QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

                        ./phon -qws

                        If I check that enviroment variable, it's set ...
                        echo $QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS
                        1

                          Are you running a debug or release build of your application (Right now i'm not sure whether this could change the output when using QT_DEBUG_PLUGIN) ?

                              Do you also have the debug lib from Qt on your target ?

                                I wan't in town yesterday so I couldn't test that yesterday - sorry for that

                                I'm sorry but I can't find the debug lib...I crosscompild my Qt again and added the option - debug... but no debug lib was created- and also with the libs I compiled with the debug options, the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS dosn't work

                                BTW I also set the PluginPath with QT_PLUGIN_PATH=... but that wasn't successful neither.

                                Also included: qDebug()<<QLibraryInfo::location(QLibraryInfo::PluginsPath);
                                It shows the correct Path("/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins"
                                ), where the plugin is installed...

                                      Just to be on the safe side, did you check the output of the configure script to see if it was a debug or release build ?

                                        If i checked the right file ist says DEBUG=auto, however the libs I compiled with the debug options are pretty big so I think they are build during debug build

                                          so if you call

                                          @QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./myApplication -qws@

                                          You don't have any output ?
