Gstreamer with gst-omx Raspberry Pi
I compiled the gstreamer with gst-omx following this tutorial: http://www.onepitwopi.com/raspberry-pi/gstreamer-1-2-on-the-raspberry-pi/
Everything went fine and in the end when i ran gst-inspect-1.0 | grep omx I got:
omx: omxmpeg2videodec: OpenMAX MPEG2 Video Decoder
omx: omxmpeg4videodec: OpenMAX MPEG4 Video Decoder
omx: omxh263dec: OpenMAX H.263 Video Decoder
omx: omxh264dec: OpenMAX H.264 Video Decoder
omx: omxtheoradec: OpenMAX Theora Video Decoder
omx: omxvp8dec: OpenMAX VP8 Video Decoder
omx: omxmjpegdec: OpenMAX MJPEG Video Decoder
omx: omxvc1dec: OpenMAX WMV Video Decoder
omx: omxh264enc: OpenMAX H.264 Video Encoder
omx: omxanalogaudiosink: OpenMAX Analog Audio Sink
omx: omxhdmiaudiosink: OpenMAX HDMI Audio Sink
Everything seems fine but when I try to use gst-launch-1.0 with the omx decoder I get nothing.
This pipeline runs fine(but really slow so I closed it in the middle):

I think this is the most important part of this error:
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstOMXH264Dec-omxh264dec:omxh264dec-omxh264dec0: Could not configure supporting library.
but couldn't find any reference to this error...
Tried to make check the gst-omx but it doesn't have any check routine.
Can anyone shed some light in this matter?
Thanks a lot! =D
UPDATE:
Strangely, if I started my rpi without the hdmi cable and executed my pipeline via ssh it worked(but I didn't see any image because the hdmi cable was off)

Does this mean that the problem is in the eglglessink?
Answer
Just found the solution:
I forgot to increase the memory of the gpu, so my 720p video decoding didn't have enough memory to run. The easy fix is just to add
gpu_mem=128
to /boot/config.txt and reboot the raspberry. It was, after all, related to eglglessink ;D
