This sounds like a mismatch between the compiled GStreamer plugin version and 
the library you have installed. Since it worked on an older version, you 
probably have a plugin for GStreamer 0.10 and your newer distro has GStreamer 
1.0.

This is in the #else path for GST_CHECK_VERSION(1,0,0), so it really indicates 
your plugin is linked against GStreamer 0.10 instead of the newer version.

The call to gst_video_connector_get_type failing indicates that the Qt private 
helper library libqgsttools_p.so.1 is corrupted or missing.

Upgrade your plugin. Use GStreamer 1.0 only.
