DS 4.0 on Nano: can uridecodebin output nvmm?

This works on DS 1.5 on TX2:
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///home/nvidia/Videos/something.mp4 ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink -e

With DS 4.0 on Nano, the same pipeline gives:

Hi,
On r32.2, please run

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///home/nvidia/Videos/something.mp4 ! nvvidconv ! nveglglessink
3

Yes this works but this means nvdec is not used.

If you inspect nvvidconv, the sink pads only take in decoded input.

Did something change in uridecodebin between DS 1.5 and DS 4.0?

Is there a single element that knows how to select the correct decoder
and output NVMM like uridecodebin in TX2 DS 1.5?

Hi,
You can see what elements are used by executing:

$ export GST_DEBUG=*FACTORY*:4

You should see hardware decoder nvv4l2decoder is used.

5

Yes I see nvv4l2decoder.

Is there a way to make uridecodebin output nvmm to avoid an extra memory copy?

The uridecodebin element in DS 1.5 in TX2 does this.

Hi,
nvv4l2decoder plugin only outputs nvmm. You can run ‘gst-inspect-1.0 nvv4l2decoder’ to get detail.
It is necessary to convert NV12 to RGBA for rendering. Below pipeline should be more clear:

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///home/nvidia/Videos/something.mp4 caps='video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12' ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=RGBA' ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink
