Deepstream failed to decode rtsp feed withnvv4l2decoder

I am working on a deepstream pipeline based on the deepstream-test5 example. While everything works when working from a file - I can’t seem to get anywhere when using a RTSP feed for the source.

The pipeline runs but stay stuck at 0. I have narrow the problem down to the decoding of the frame with nvv4l2decoder.

Indeed If I use the avdec_h264 to decode the feed - I can see it properly and everything is fine.

GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.53.1/live ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! nvvideoconvert ! autovideosink

However, if I use nvv4l2decoder,

GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.53.1/live ! rtph264depay ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvvideoconvert ! autovideosink

the feed never show off and the logs show

The RTSP stream is broadcast from a drone via prdraw. I can read the feed properly with VLC as well.

I am not sure where to look for next and I’d appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

Can you run the following command and get the log?

Can you set “num-extra-surfaces” property of nvv4l2decoder to 10 and try again?

So the pipeline is working well. Please use nveglglessink as the display sink as we use in our sample code.

The print of “ERROR v4l2 gstv4l2object.c:2077:gst_v4l2_object_get_interlace_mode: Driver bug detected - check driver with v4l2-compliance from v4l-utils.git - media (V4L2, DVB and IR) applications and libraries” is just a warning, please ignore them.

Ok but the display is still an blank screen - even when using nveglglessink

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.53.1/live ! rtph264depay ! nvv4l2decoder num-extra-surfaces=10 ! nvvideoconvert ! nveglglessink

And if I tried to run the sample demo directly from the rtsp feed- I get

**PERF:  FPS 0 (Avg)

**PERF:  0.00 (0.00)

The rtsp quality may be bad. Please set “sync=0 async=0” to your sink. When you run deepstream-app, please config “live-source=1” for nvstreammux group and “sync=0” to sink group.

Still the same running

GST_DEBUG=v4l2videodec:5 gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.53.1/live ! rtph264depay ! nvv4l2decoder num-extra-surfaces=10 ! nvvideoconvert ! nveglglessink sync=0 async=0

or running the deepstream-app with “live-source=1” for nvstreammux group and “sync=0” to sink group.

If I use avdec_h264 instead, the quality of the feed is very good so I don’t think it is a rtsp quality issue.
