Hardware Platform GPU  
Deepstream 5.1  
TensorRt 7.2.1  
NVIDIA GPU Driver Version 455.23.05  
Issue Type Questions  
**• How to reproduce the issue ? (This is for bugs. Including which sample app is using, the configuration files content, the command line used and other details for reproducing)**  
when deepstream-app rtsp sink is used for 8 streams with tiled-display disabled. if any of the stream is opened through rtsp link it stuck after 10 to 20 seconds and even if i use only one stream and one rtsp sink it still has the  
same problem. if i enable tiled-display it will work fine without any issue.

The “file-loop=1” option will run the application in loop. That means the session will restart after the session finishes. For every new session, the rtsp server is initialized from the NULL. The connection between client and server should be reset. You need to reconnect the rtsp sever with your rtsp stream player. The way you use the function is wrong.  
It is better to set live-source=0 in [streammux] group even It has nothing to do with the “stuck”.

There is rtsp source. Please set “live-source=1” in [streammux].

rtsp source is at 5 fps and 2 video streams are at 30 fps does that causing a problem

I’ve run the case with your config file. The rtsp output playback is OK. No stuck is found.

I think issue is related to vlc. I tested it with gstreamer it displays the output but vlc for some reason creates the same issue
