Error: Decodebin did not pick nvidia decoder plugin

isham · February 26, 2024, 3:23pm

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) : Tesla T4 Gpu
• DeepStream Version : 6.4
• TensorRT Version : * TensorRT 8.6.1.6
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only) : 535.104.12

i have successfully created and run an app using Deepstream , everything was fine. Then i done the same in a Docker container, then iam getting the following error:

deepstream_celery_1 | Error while setting IOCTL

am using the same driver and cuda versions inside the container and i have installed nvidia conatiner toolkit, and i can do nvidia-smi from inside the container.

i was earlier using Deepstream official docker image, but then i was expereinecing the gstreamer plugin issues.That’s why i changed to docker custom image

Have you installed the driver and the CUDA on your host?

isham · February 27, 2024, 9:14am

yes, and iam able to do nvidia-smi from inside the container also

Could you check the lib in your docker with ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libgstnvvideo4linux2.so?

isham · February 27, 2024, 11:59am

sure,:

deepstream_user@16dcabaec355:/app$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libgstnvvideo4 linux2.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libgstnvvideo4:
ldd: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libgstnvvideo4: No such file or directory
linux2.so:
ldd: ./linux2.so: No such file or directory```

yuweiw · February 28, 2024, 7:10am

Could you try that again? There is no space in the libgstnvvideo4linux2.so.

bobchen1017 · February 28, 2024, 11:58am

Hello, I have the same error show, but I fixed them. My experience is when this error show during I infer the video, using

ffmpeg -i view_4-od_video.mp4 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 22 -c:a aac -b:a 128k new_video.mp4

when I infer the streaming, make sure the sound stream not input.

isham · February 28, 2024, 12:45pm

yes,`

Ok, how did you solve it? I am facing this issue within a docker container only, when i run this normally everything works fine. How you resolved the issue?

bobchen1017 · February 29, 2024, 2:24am

Re-encoding the video with ffmpeg and removing the audio stream when inputting from the camera can solve the problem.
