basic rtsp->decode->display pipeline not working

Hello,
I am trying to implement a pipeline to read a rtsp stream from an URI and display the video content on the screen. I do so with a uridecodebin plugin, demuxing audio/video. The decoder nvv4l2decoder is loaded dynamically. The rest of the pipeline is supposed to convert the format of the video and push it to be displayed. At run time I have a “Warning: not negotiated WARNING from element capsfilter0: not negotiated” and the pipeling gets stuck on this.

I attach an example code to reproduce the issue.
I use Deepstream SDK 4.0
Could you please give me a hint of what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
Please use nvvideoconvert to construct the pipeline like:

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test ! nvvideoconvert ! 'video/x-raw' ! xvimagesink

We have nveglglessink and nvoverlaysink which can render video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), please also try

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test ! nvvideoconvert ! nvoverlaysink

Thanks, changing videoconvert to nvvideoconvert does the job!
