The error will be

I set up 3 input streams as source 0, 1,2 and 3 RTSP output streams as sink 0,1,2.

How about two sources and two encoding sinks?

It’s totally fine. There are no issues with N sources and 2 encoding sinks.

GTX 1050 Ti is not in deepstream supporting list. We do not guarantee it can work.

Beside the NVIDIA 1050ti, I also tried with RTX 2060 and NVIDIA Quadro P2000. I met the same problem.

I notice that you set the output file name just the same for different output file sink.
You can not write the different encoded stream to the same file.

Actually, the output file name is used to specify the link URL of streams. I run normally without any issues with 2 RTSP outputs.
I’ve tried to change the output file names with different names, however, the error still occurred.

That was so weird when I tried with 3 input sources from video files and then 3 RTSP output streams run very well.

I guess during the initialization, there is one more implicit encoder to be created?

The maximum RTSP output streams will be N+1 = 3 (with N is the number of current output streams)?

Formally deepstream supports P4, T4, V100, GA100 (DS 5.1). Quickstart Guide — DeepStream 6.1.1 Release documentation

Thank you for your support. I found a problem is that when I changed to another stream. It can run 3 streaming outputs at the same time.

Therefore, I think the Deepstream app is very sensitive to the RSTP input stream.

Is the new stream still RTSP stream?

What is your original RTSP streams which caused the failure? Does it come from a IP camera? If so, can you tell us the camera type?

Hello Fiona Chen,

Actually, it is just a normal H.264 RTSP stream from the Camera Recoder.

I realized that if I start the app with 3 identical RTSP streams (the same URI), as A A A, the app can run properly.

If I change 1 RTSP stream to another URI as A A B, the app fails to run.

I found that this issue belongs to the NVIDIA Driver software, not the Deepstream app.

Personally, creating individual streams for each RTSP stream is not a practical case.

Thank you for your great support.
