Decode MJPEG based RTSP stream (IDS GigE camera RTSP streamer)

Hi,
I am trying to run inferencing on IDS GigE RTSP streamer which is provinding MJPEG encoded rtsp stream. I am using deepstream-test3 app. Here is the output.

Now playing: rtsp://192.168.1.200:8554/mystream,

Using winsys: x11

Hi

Can you try with this pipeline?

gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://192.168.1.200:8554/mystream ! queue ! \
nvvideoconvert ! \
'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12,width=640,height=480' !  queue ! \
nvstreammux0.sink_0 \
nvstreammux name=nvstreammux0 batch-size=1 batched-push-timeout=40000 width=640 height=480 live-source=TRUE !  queue ! \
nvvideoconvert !  queue ! \
nvinfer config-file-path=/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-4.0/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test3/dstest3_pgie_config.txt !  queue ! \
nvdsosd process-mode=HW_MODE !  queue ! \
nvvideoconvert ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)' ! nvoverlaysink

Make sure that the config-file-path is ok. Let me know if you get any errors.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for the reply. I tried executing the pipeline, but I am getting the following error.

Can you run it again adding GST_DEBUG=uridecodebin*:5 before gst-launch? To check if the uridecodebin logs a more helpful error message.

This is the debug log that i got for “uridecodebin:5”

Just as a long shot can you try replacing uridecodebin with uridecodebin3. I am clueless about why uridecodebin is failing with your stream. It should be able to handle mjpeg.

You can also try starting the pipeline with fakesink it should produce the same error:

GST_DEBUG=uridecodebin*:5 gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://192.168.1.200:8554/mystream ! fakesink

Hi,
It is very likely the URI is invalid. Please try this:

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://freja.hiof.no:1935/rtplive/_definst_/hessdalen02.stream ! nvoverlaysink

If above pipeline can be run successfully, please replace with your URI and try.

This is the output when using fakesink

Hi,
It is not a URL issue. I am able to play the live stream in vlc player.

This is not a DeepStream problem because the pipeline without DS is failing in the same way.

I think it is a packetizing issue. It is likely that the camera is sending data that uridecodebin can’t handle. But this is very difficult to debug without analyzing the actual RTSP packages, and the solution may require modifying a GStreamer element.
