Attempting to connect to NVIDIA Nano cameras log error

sutchc20 · April 13, 2020, 6:52pm

The cameras work once on startup using a gstreamer pipeline -

“gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1280,height=720,framerate=15/1’ ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! tee name=t1 t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvv4l2h264enc bitrate=8000000 ! h264parse config-interval=1 ! queue silent=true leaky=downstream ! rndbuffersize max=65000 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5001 sync=false t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvjpegenc ! rtpjpegpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 sync=false”

and

“nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=1 ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1280,height=720,framerate=15/1, format=NV12, framerate=15/1 ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! video/x-raw, format=(string)BGRx ! videoconvert”

as well as the default provided nvargus command.

After launching a few times, they log “Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, execute:543 Failed to create CaptureSession” every subsequent connection attempt. This is fixed by restarting the nano.

Hi,
Please share your release version( $ head -1 /etc/nv_tegra_release ) and steps for reproducing the issue, such as running gst-launch command or a simple test code.

And information of the camera board(Raspberry Pi camera V2 or others).

Hi,
The sensor-id looks not right. It should be 0 Or you have two cameras being connected?

And the pipeline should be with sink such as fakesink

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1280,height=720,framerate=15/1, format=NV12, framerate=15/1' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! video/x-raw, format=BGRx ! videoconvert ! fakesink

sutchc20 · April 16, 2020, 7:34pm

Yes, we have two cameras connected. The pipeline is appended into the ROS Gstream node, which apends its own sink. That being said, the behavior still occurs with a autovideosink or udpsink appended. I’ve noticed that it consistently occurs with this commands:

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=512,height=288,framerate=15/1' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! tee name=t1 t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvv4l2h264enc bitrate=8000000 ! h264parse config-interval=1 ! queue silent=true leaky=downstream ! rndbuffersize max=65000 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5001 sync=false t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvjpegenc ! rtpjpegpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 sync=false`

DaneLLL · April 16, 2020, 11:44pm

Hi,
It should be an issue in nvjpegenc. Please take a look at:
https://elinux.org/L4T_Jetson/r32.3.x_patch
[GSTREAMER]streaming using jpegenc halts after a short delay
And apply the prebuilt lib.

sutchc20 · April 17, 2020, 7:15pm

After applying that patch, the gstreamer behavior is a bit more consistent, but it still fails sporadically (around every 10 launches).

DaneLLL · April 20, 2020, 1:41am

Hi,
Please share how we can reproduce the failure. Do you run

Excute

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=512,height=288,framerate=15/1' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! tee name=t1 t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvv4l2h264enc bitrate=8000000 ! h264parse config-interval=1 ! queue silent=true leaky=downstream ! rndbuffersize max=65000 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5001 sync=false t1. ! queue silent=true ! nvjpegenc ! rtpjpegpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 sync=false`

Ctrl +C to exit the pipeline
Do step 1 2 repeatedly and the issue is hit once ~10 trials.

sutchc20 · April 20, 2020, 7:55pm

Correct, it actually fails every other time with that command now, the behavior is inconsistent. It seems to be that pipeline specifically, as I’m now using a different pipeline in code which hasn’t had any problems yet.

Honey_Patouceul · April 20, 2020, 8:39pm

Be sure to start with a mode (resolution/fps) listed by v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext.
You might try to specify caps 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=NV12 (or I420 for older L4T releases) before tee t1
You might try to specify caps ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=I420’ before nvjpengenc, so in recent relases you may use a nvvidconv for converting NV12 to I420, both in NVMM memory.

sutchc20 · April 23, 2020, 7:22pm

I tried 1 and 2. For 3, what do you meaning using nvvid conv to convert NV12 to I420?

Honey_Patouceul · April 24, 2020, 11:00am

Yes this is what I meant. However, I have just tried your command and it seems it is rather related to previous gstreamer pipeline failing to close properly.

I can reliably launch and stop your pipeline many times with EOS (use -e with gst-launch-1.0).

sutchc20 · May 2, 2020, 6:08pm

Yeah it seems to be working consistently now after a few restarts, thanks for the help!
