appsrc link to nvvidconv error with reason not-negotiated(-4)

Hi ,
I have test my appsink / appsrc demo .
My appsrc work correctly with following code

appsrc caps=video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 block=true name=appsrc ! videoconvert ! nvoverlaysink

But because of videoconvert it is too slow .
So I want to use nvvidconv instead .with folowing code

appsrc caps=video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 block=true name=appsrc ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080! nvoverlaysink

Any return me error

Error received from element appsrc:Internal data flow error .
Streaming task paused ,reason not-negotiated(-4)

My question is what is the different between videoconvet and nvvidconv .

Hi ChrisRiz,

appsrc caps=video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 block=true name=appsrc ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 ! nvvidconv ! <b>video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)</b>,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080! nvoverlaysink

The output of nvvidconv should be video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)

For more examples, please refer to https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/l4t-accelerated-gstreamer-guide-28-2-ga

Hi DaneLLL,
I try with video/x-raw(memory:NVMM) But still error Streaming task paused ,reason not-negotiated(-4)

Hi ChrisRiz,
I don’t see issues with videotestsrc:

$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080 ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=RGBA,width=1920,height=1080' ! nvoverlaysink

Not sure what it does not work for appsrc. Other users may share experience.

Hi , DaneLLL
I am very sure that nvvidconv can not directly connect to appsrc.
And I try videoconvert then it work but with a bit delate .

Below sample works fine. FYR.

somebody who use this code ,should be careful about the file name of 81 lines,use your file name replace “/home/nvidia/a.yuv”

compile:
g++ -Wall -std=c++11 test.cpp -o test $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-app-1.0) -ldl
