Hi :) I wanna report an issue.
This does not happen all the time. sometimes, like once a week, arises and resolves when restarted.
My environment is as follows.

Please check the following log.

gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstBin:multi_src_bin/GstBin:sourcebin_2/GstDecodeBin:decodebin_2:
no suitable plugins found:
Couldn't set nvv4l2decoder0 to READY:
Could not get/set settings from/on resource.
Error getting capabilities for device '/dev/nvidia0': It isn't a v4l2 driver. Check if it is a v4l1 driver.
v4l2_calls.c(94): gst_v4l2_get_capabilities (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstBin:multi_src_bin/GstBin:sourcebin_2/GstDecodeBin:decodebin_2/nvv4l2decoder:nvv4l2decoder0:
system error: Invalid argument

After this error, the container freezes.
You may think if it happens like once a week, why does it matter?
But to maintain a stable service using deepstream, this comes to me as a serious issue.

Please upgrade to the latest DeepStream in: Docker Containers — DeepStream documentation
Set up the driver based on here: Installation — DeepStream documentation
