The hello world demo was based on this c demo:

It was updated to just using the PlayBin about six years ago, so we
should do the same.

OK, I'll set about doing an update.

The "hello world" GStreamer example isn't a hello world unless the input file is audio/video of someone saying "hello world".

I have a media player example I can bring in to replace the current one.
