I am testing peoplenet in deepstream on AGX Xaiver and I have error as follows.

```
failed to parse group property

```

My config files are  
[config\_infer\_primary\_peoplenet.txt](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/cZyOhyJdlOcAaDRmvszNxGDvqyS.txt) (1.2 KB) [deepstream\_app\_source1\_peoplenet.txt](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/lLrZ8lfR1Jsqe8KOM1JkJcjiESs.txt) (2.5 KB)

I run the app as  
`deepstream-app -c /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.0/samples/configs/tlt_pretrained_models/deepstream_app_source1_peoplenet.txt`

What could be wrong?

Hi,

Just confirmed that we can run the peoplenet sample without error.

It looks like the error comes from this customized setting:

```auto
[source0]
enable=1
#Type - 1=CameraV4L2 2=URI 3=MultiURI
type=2
num-sources=1
uri=file://home/xaiver/Videos/v1.asf
gpu-id=0

```

Could you use the original setting to see if still an issue first?

```auto
[source0]                                                                                           
enable=1
#Type - 1=CameraV4L2 2=URI 3=MultiURI                                                               
type=3
num-sources=1                                                                                       
uri=file://../../streams/sample_1080p_h265.mp4                                                      
gpu-id=0

```

Thanks.

Hi, batu\_man

Is your problem solved after resetting the input source?  
Thanks.
