Deepstream-app stops receiving frames after longer streaming time

Hi,

I’ve recently noticed some strange behavior of deepstream-app while streaming from IP camera using RTSP. It seems that after a longer period of time it stops receiving frames and FPS rate suddenly drops to 0.

Here is my full system configuration:
• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) Jetson Nano
• DeepStream Version 5.0
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only) 4.4
• TensorRT Version 7.1.3

And the configuration file I’m using to feed deepstream-app:

This problem occurs after at least 12 hours of streaming. I haven’t noticed any memory leaks or unusual CPU/GPU usage at that time. Those are the logs of deepstream-app:

I have no clue what might be the core of the problem here. I would appreciate any help.

Even I am facing this issue!!

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) Jetson Xavier
• DeepStream Version 5.0

After restarting it starts working again

Yes, exactly, restarting the app does the trick. However, setting rtsp-reconnect-interval-sec parameter doesn’t help at all.

Any ideas? Maybe someone from NVIDIA support?

@bartosz From the log, seems the rtsp server have send a resolution change request to deepstream, but DP5.0 does not support it. So the stream is paused.

Can you try to disable the resolution change request in the RTSP server side?

Another solution may be to update to our latest Deepstream5.0 GA. It may have the resolution change support in client side. It has been published and you can get it here. https://developer.nvidia.com/deepstream-getting-started

I’m not quite sure if disabling resolution change is an option in my scenario as I’m streaming directly from IP camera and I’m not aware of such parameter there.

However, I’ll try updating Deepstream. For the time being I’ve just implemented a workaround, which restarts the source every time the fps rate drops below some threshold. Anyway, thanks for advice, I’ll try it.

Hi,

Similar issue has been noticed. How was this finally resolved?

@bartosz The problem may relate to the RTSP server. Can you tell us your IP camera manufacturer and camera type? So that we can try to reproduce your problem.

Hi
As of now, we used the RTSP (type=4) source and are able to recover from this. If this is a major issues, we will submit a new ticket.

Can you do us a favorite to provide the camera type and manufacturer so that we can support such kind of camera better?

I was using Hikvision DS-2CD2041G1-IDW1 and Overmax Camspot 4.5. The same problem occured on both.

We don’t have such type of camera. Is it possible for you to share the uri of your camera to us, so that we can do some test with the source?

@bartosz Can we close this topic since you have find some methods to recover from the failure? You can submit new ticket if the issue needs to be resolved.

Sorry, I don’t have access to those cameras anymore. Sure, you can close the ticket.
