Failed creating encoder avenc_mpeg4 in deepstream 5.1

Using below command I am trying to create encoder.
encoder = Gst.ElementFactory.make(“avenc_mpeg4”, “encoder”)

It return None and fails to create encoder. I tried “export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgomp.so.1” but it also didn’t work. Help me.

Error Log:

Unable to create encoder

Hi,
Are you able to see the plugin in gst-launch-1.0 command:

$ gst-inspect-1.0 avenc_mpeg4

I used $ sudo gst-launch-1.0 avenc_mpeg4 and it shows:

ERROR: pipeline could not be constructed: no element “avenc_mpeg4”.

Hi,
It should be gst-inspect-1.0. Have corrected the command. Please give it a try.

It says:

No such element or plugin ‘avenc_mpeg4’

Hi,
It looks like you don’t install libav package. Please install it and try again:

$ sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav

It is already installed correctly.
$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav

Hi,
We can see the plugin. Not sure why you cannot see it. May try to clean gstreamer cache:

$ rm .cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.aarch64.bin

If the plugin is still missing, probably it is better to re-flash the system.
