Deepstream can't sink more than 2 video streams at the same time

I get error when run test demo,like this:

deepstream-app -c source4_1080p_dec_infer-resnet_tracker_sgie_tiled_display_int8.txt

this is my computer :

HI
I can run successful with docker version 4.0.2, GPU T4, and use same config with you. can you try to run without docker to rule out if any environments of docker?

I also have the same problem. When I save more than 2 sinks, it failed. But I didn’t use docker. My GPU is 2080Ti. Is this GPU support?

Please check this,

search 2080 ti, from the table, you can see Max # of concurrent sessions for encode supported is 2, that why when you run more than 3 sinks of rtsp streaming failed.

Hello, as I saw in the figure, the max # of concurrent sessions for supported is 3. Not 2

Seems duplicated with Cannot start the application with 3 RTSP Streaming - Intelligent Video Analytics / DeepStream SDK - NVIDIA Developer Forums
I see the issue gone after change to another stream, did this still be an issue then?

Hello amycao,

I was wrong because this topic was created on Feb 13, 2020. The NVIDIA at that time still supported 2 concurrent sessions.

After June 2020, NVIDIA silently changed the maximum number from 2 to 3.

My issue was solved because I found that this issue is coming from NVIDIA software, not the Deepstream App.

Got it, thanks.

May i know which software?
