Error - a lot of buffers are being dropped - when running ds sdk python sample + IPcamera on nano

Hi there.

I have installed the Deep stream SDK 4.0.2 and when I run the python example it takes more than minutes to initialize and after some seconds I am seeing the below messages in the terminal and my test application is hanging.

Frame Number= 1647 Number of Objects= 0 Vehicle_count= 0 Person_count= 0
Warning: gst-core-error-quark: A lot of buffers are being dropped. (13): gstbasesink.c(2902): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstEglGlesSink:nvvideo-renderer:
There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

Highly appreciated your help.

Me too, i got the same error

WARNING: gst-core-error-quark: A lot of buffers are being dropped. (13): gstbasesink.c(2902):

gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstEglGlesSink:nvvideo-renderer

Hi,

For information, please share which test app you run and hit the issue.

I run the deepstream-test3 with the RTSP Camera
At the first time, streaming run well, but after a sec, streaming got an error as shown

WARNING: gst-core-error-quark: A lot of buffers are being dropped. (13): gstbasesink.c(2902):

gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstEglGlesSink:nvvideo-renderer

and then i search it, and i found this link

https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps/blob/master/FAQ.md

Pipeline unable to perform at real time

I dont get it

Thanks for your reply.

I am using deepstream-test3 with the RTSP Camera.

yesterday I was trying with MP4 file and it was fine.

but when it comes to RTSP after a minute we are getting the above error and app almost hang stage then we need to kill the exe in task manager.

kind Note:
there is a TYPO error in deepstream-test3 python sample code like below

MUXER_OUTPUT_WIDTH=1920
MUXER_OUTPUT_HEIGHT=80 //should be 1080

Hi,
Please apply the modification to deepstream_test_3.py and try again.
1 set ‘live-source=1’ to streammux

streammux.set_property('live-source', 1)

2 Replace nveglglesink with nvoverlaysink and set ‘sync=0’

- transform=Gst.ElementFactory.make("nvegltransform", "nvegl-transform")
+ transform=Gst.ElementFactory.make("queue", "queue")
- sink = Gst.ElementFactory.make("nveglglessink", "nvvideo-renderer")
+ sink = Gst.ElementFactory.make("nvoverlaysink", "nvvideo-renderer")
+ sink.set_property('sync', 0)

3 Apply the setting of Nano to config file

Thank you Mr. DaneLLL for your respone,

I’ve tried the code, and i got a new problem here, the program running well without error, but stream video didn’t show.

These “nvoverlaysink” hide the streaming.

Hi,
Probably nvoverlaysink hasn’t been ported yet. Please keep nveglglessink and set sync=0

@DaneLLL I can definitely confirm your patch to work. I was having the same issues with 3 simultaneous MP4 files. Lost buffers, hanging display. The queue, the “live-source”, the sink change and the sync=0 did it.

Thanks

EDIT: Since I have learned this is important to mention: JP 4.4, Deep SDK 5.0.1, Jetson Nano 4G

EDIT 2: But in the end in my use case it is just sufficient to add sink.set_property('sync', 0) and let the rest unchanged. But the overlay is faster.

I have the same error , my python script is python-deepstream app1 adjusted for csi camera, When doing the said changes this error occurs. AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘set_property’ where the object is sink

Hi,
For csi camera you should use nvarguscamerasrc. May refer to
Multiple nvarguscamera sources in Python not linked - #26 by socieboy

The link you have sent me has unfortunately been deleted,

My pipeline works, just not effectively its slow and has too many buffers

Setup;
Jetson Nano 4GB Ram
Deepstream 5.0.1

Is the number of objects to be detected too high ? Does that affect the speed ?

Hi,
The user shared a sample and looks like he deleted it. Sorry I did not notice it.

There are set_property() calls in the code. So only sink.set_property(‘sync’, 0) fails and other calls succeed? A bit strange only one function call fails.

The error as shown on the terminal when I run the script with recommended changes .

This is embarrassing but I messed up with a additional space in the code after “nvoverlaysink”. Everything is working, but the live feed doesn’t show up anymore. So I changed nvoverlaysink back to nveglglessink to try to fix it, is to be expected ?

Hi,
By default it is

... ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink

It should work by replacing with

... ! queue ! nvoverlaysink

Yes, It is working but there is no video feed now, is this to be expected ?

Hi,

Do you mean you cannot see video playback on screen?

Yes, when changing the recommended settings there is no video playback but everything else is fine and message “the buffers are being dropped” doesn’t show up

Hi,
Please check if you can run gst-launch-1.0 command and see video preview:
