Added the lines for core-image-minimal:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "liboil gdb gstreamer gst-ffmpeg gst-plugins-gl gst-plugins-bad-videoparsersbad gst-plugins-bad-fbdevsink gst-plugins-bad-colorspace gst-plugins-base-ffmpegcolorspace gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly strace"

After some testing, i found out that it's working with X11. When i am using ximagesink it works, but it still doenst work with the framebuffer, so it looks like the problem is in the fbdevsink.

No issue reported in Gstreamer on Beaglebone in recent QA cycles for 2.7 onwards.
