You missed out the "pn-" which is necessary for such per-recipe overrides to 
work. The correct examples would be:

PACKAGECONFIG_pn-gst-plugins-ugly = "x264"
 
or

PACKAGECONFIG_pn-gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly = "a52dec lame mad mpeg2dec x264"

If preferred you could use ..._append_pn-... = " x264" to add to the existing 
options rather than setting them outright.

Cheers,
Paul
