Error " Failed to create element 'src_bin_muxer'" while trying to run a modified test5 on Nvidia DeepStream Container


Environment

Nvidia Jetson Nano
Jetpack 4.3
Deepstream 4.0.2


Description

Created custom configuration that is pretty much based on test5. I’ve edited a few lines in the config file to point to my config file/model (ONNX), to live capture data from a USB camera (Source0) and enabled RTSP (Sink3).

Tested the configuration on Nvidia Jetson Nano. Everything worked just fine.

Decided to run the same test in a docker container.


Issue

Tested container images

Question

• Am I doing something wrong?
• What could be causing this behavior when running deepstream in the container?
• Any tip you can provide?

Hi

** ERROR: <create_multi_source_bin:714>: Failed to create element ‘src_bin_muxer’

Can you find nvstreammux plugin?
gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libnvdsgst_multistream.so

you can delete the cache and try again,
rm /root/workspace/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 -rf

Hi,

Thanks for replying back. I got it working yesterday after some troubleshooting. I had to specify the parameters “–gpu all” or “–runtime nvidia” in Docker CLI command to get it working. I’ve verified in Docker config file (/etc/docker/daemon.json) that nvidia runtime is not set as the default runtime.


sudo docker run --runtime nvidia -it --rm --device=/dev/video0:/dev/video0 -v=“/var/deepstream/custom_config:/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/custom_config/” -v=“/var/deepstream/custom_models:/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/custom_models/” -w=“/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/configs/” nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:4.0.2-19.12-iot /bin/bash

sudo docker run --gpus all -it --rm --device=/dev/video0:/dev/video0 -v=“/var/deepstream/custom_config:/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/custom_config/” -v=“/var/deepstream/custom_models:/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/custom_models/” -w=“/root/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-test5/configs/” nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:4.0.2-19.12-iot /bin/bash


Thanks,

Glad to know.
