got error using nvhdmioverlaysink

When test gstreamer, I create a pipeline like this:

sudo gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=tc10.264 ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvhdmioverlaysink -e

And I got the error information:

NvxBaseWorkerFunction[2575] comp OMX.Nvidia.render.hdmi.overlay.yuv420 Error -2147479552
NvxBaseWorkerFunction[2575] comp OMX.Nvidia.render.hdmi.overlay.yuv420 Error -2147479552 
nvdc: open: Too many open files
nvdc: failed to open '/dev/fb0'.

Then I change the sink, it works well.

sudo gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=tc10.264 ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! autovideosink -e

or this one:

sudo gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=tc10.264 ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, format=(string)RGBA' ! nvoverlaysink -e

I want to know why I can’t use nvhdmioverlaysink

I can see this on R28.1, too. Unlike you, I need to add qtdemux in the pipeline to get it working with autovideosink or nvoverlaysink from my sample file.
I cannot help much, but for additional debug, using:

GST_DEBUG=*:3 gst-launch-1.0 -e filesrc location=/home/ubuntu/Videos/Serenity-HD_DVD_Trailer.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, format=(string)RGBA' ! nvhdmioverlaysink

you will see the first error is:

0:00:00.104379823 27344       0x7f5800ff30  ERROR  omx gstomx.c:504:EventHandler:<nvhdmioverlaysink-nvhdmioverlaysink0> yuv420 got error: Insufficient resources (0x80001000)

There is also a FIXME before:

0:00:00.067871023 27344       0x5af4f0 FIXME     videodecoder gstvideodecoder.c:946:gst_video_decoder_drain_out:<omxh264dec-omxh264dec0> Sub-class should implement drain()

but not sure if this is related.

I can use fbdevsink in Command line interface:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=tc10.264 ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvvidconv ! videoscale ! 'video/x-raw,width=(int)1920,height=(int)1080' ! fbdevsink -e

Hi mailtowubo,

Please take a look at https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/l4t-tx2-accelerated-gstreamer-guide-28-1 ; nvhdmioverlaysink was deprecated.
