Newbie here. I am getting started with GStreamer and have run some examples from the command line and also a couple tutorials C programs from the open source GStreamer/site. I am trying to learn about NVidia Accelerated GStreamer. Is the Nvidia Accelerated GStreamer different from the open source GStreamer? If so, how?
Hi,
We have our own plugins which use hardware accelration and can hook with public gstreamer plugins. So that you can construct the use-case more quickly.
For example, you can run RTSP streaming:
$ gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw, format=I420 ! xvimagesink
And use rtspsrc and rtph264depay to extract the H264 stream from the RTP packets.
If you use jetson_multimedia_api, there is no existing code and you would need to implement the stack.
Thanks DaneLLL for the message. Can you suggest how I can compare the performance of a NVidia plug-in with an open source plug-in?
Hi,
The nvv4l2decoder plugin is hardware decoder. You can compare the decoding performance to software decoder avdec_h264 plugin.
Thanks DaneLLL - I am not able to run the command - I think I am missing some components?
sudo gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw, format=I420 ! xvimagesink

Hi,
Looks like the RTSP server is invalid. Please try local video file playback:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=test.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw, format=I420 ! xvimagesink
Please replace test.mp4 with your video file name.
