How to install a lot of gstreamer ugly plugins

Are you in a hurry and need to install every ugly plugin in yocto? Don’t think twice.

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST += "commercial"
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly"

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly = " x264 mad \
                                                  amrnb  amrwb dvdread "
