Whenever i use deepstream’s hardware accelerated plugins i receive this error :

Error: gst-resource-error-quark: Device ‘/dev/nvidia0’ failed during initialization (1): gstv4l2object.c(4134): gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/nvv4l2decoder:nvv4l2-decoder:
Call to S_FMT failed for H264 @ 2560x1080: Unknown error -1
nvstreammux: Successfully handled EOS for source_id=0

I reinstalled whole deepstream, cuda, gstreamer and tensorrt , restarted the computer but its still showing. Please help.

Thank You.

How do you use it? Which app are you using? What is the command line? Do you run the app in docker or directly in your host?

At first i always try on terminal. When i try to run this pipeline on host:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location= /home/ali-desktop/Desktop/videolar/funeral.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvvideoconvert ! glimagesink

my full output is this :
Setting pipeline to PAUSED …
Pipeline is PREROLLING …

Why do you use the GStreamer open source plugin “glimagesink”? We never use it in DeepStream samples. Please check the /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/ in your device or our document Gst-nvvideotestsrc — DeepStream 6.3 Release documentation

But it is not the problem. When i use nveglglessink or nveglglessink -e it is the same error.

Seems the driver is not installed correctly. Can you see “/dev/nvidia0” in your host? Please reinstall the driver.

8

I reinstalled 3 times but i will do it again. By the way, which latest version of gstreamer does deepstream support?

9

GStreamer 1.16.2 from the distribution of Ubuntu20.04.
