Error getting sample apps to run

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics DeepStream SDK
1

I’m getting errors when trying to run the samples apps. Right now none of the sample apps with DS4.0 is running for me. I’ve cleaned out my system of older versions of CUDA, TensorRT, cuDNN, and GStreamer.

These are the errors I’m seeing.

For “deepstream-test1”:

(deepstream-test1-app:25776): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 22:25:20.895: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'nvv4l2decoder' has no property named 'bufapi-version'

For “deepstream-test2”:

(deepstream-test2-app:26090): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 22:27:04.254: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'nvv4l2decoder' has no property named 'bufapi-version'

For “deepstream-app”:

** ERROR: <main:607>: Failed to set pipeline to PAUSED
Quitting
ERROR from src_bin_muxer: Output width not set
Debug info: gstnvstreammux.c(1838): gst_nvstreammux_change_state (): /GstPipeline:pipeline/GstBin:multi_src_bin/GstNvStreamMux:src_bin_muxer
App run failed

My system is as follows:

  • OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • GPU: GTX 1050ti (I understand this isn't "officially" supported, but this is for testing and has worked for all the previous DS versions)
  • Driver: 418.67
  • CUDA: 10.1
  • TensorRT: 5.1.5.0
  • cuDNN: 7.6.1
  • GStreamer 1.14.4

I’ve tried with both the included videos as well as my own videos that have worked on DS3.0.

Edit: I’ve split out the null check for the gst_elements in the deepstream-test1 app into individual statements and I’m now getting this:

(deepstream-test1-app:20522): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 17:29:14.991: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'nvv4l2decoder' has no property named 'bufapi-version'
source element could not be created. Exiting.

Hi, Have you made some changes to the app, if not, Can you remove the cache, rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/ -rf
and try one app with GST_DEBUG=4 at the beginning of the app, either will be ok, and paste the whole log?
if you made some modification, this is the error from the app ERROR from src_bin_muxer: Output width not set. Some properties on the nvstreammux have not been set.

Please ignore warning about “bufapi-version”. It does not affect result.

“source element could not be created. Exiting.” There is no this print in test1. Do you change the code?
Can you check which element can’t be created? For example you can check like this “gst-inspect-1.0 nvv4l2decoder”

@amycao I tried clearing the gstreamer cache before but no change. Here’s the output with GST_DEBUG=4 for deepstream-test1 after clearing the gstreamer cache again:

source element could not be created. Exiting.

@ChrisDing yes, I changed the code to show the result of each gst element. Originally it was just a single IF statement that checked all of them and the output was “One element could not be created”. This way I can see which element is causing the issue. It’s more verbose but it’s a bit more precise.

if (!source) {
    g_printerr ("source element could not be created. Exiting.\n");
    return -1;
  }
  if (!h264parser) {
    g_printerr ("h264parser element could not be created. Exiting.\n");
    return -1;
  }
  if (!decoder) {
    g_printerr ("decoder element could not be created. Exiting.\n");
    return -1;
  }
  if (!pgie) {
    g_printerr ("pgie element could not be created. Exiting.\n");
    return -1;
  }
  if (!nvvidconv) {

Filename /home/chris/anaconda3/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstcoreelements.so

from your output, seems you install the gstreamer into your user local space, that’s why it can not find this element when running test1 app since it find system path, you can export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/chris/anaconda3/lib/gstreamer-1.0:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0:
or you can install gstreamer into system path, then you do not need to add this config.

cuCtxCreate failed with error(2) gst_eglglessink_cuda_init
your display driver environments have setup issue, which GPU you used? if you use Tesla card, you may follow this to setup virtual display, Deepstream/FAQ - eLinux.org 5A, or you can change sink to fakesink in the

I’m also having it with the python sample:

    if name.find("nvv4l2decoder") != -1:
        Object.set_property("bufapi-version", True)

leads to:

  TypeError: object of type `nvv4l2decoder' does not have property `bufapi-version'

Please help to open a new topic if it’s still an issue. Thanks

No, this is solved. I think I found on another thread that I can omit the bufapi-version thing in later versions.
