GStreamer nvoverlaysink not accepting UHD video

Maxbns · September 14, 2017, 12:41pm

It seems that the GStreamer plugin nvoverlaysink is not accepting videos in the 3840x2160 (UHD) resolution.

For testing I have 2 videos:
1800p_h265.mp4: 1080p (as the name says)
2160p60_h265.mp4: 2160p UHD
Both at ~60fps, converted with libx265 (current package version in Ubuntu 16.04).

I’m using gstreamer 1.12.0 built with instructions from the NVidia Accelerated GStreamer User Guide r28.1.

First test (working):

Playing 1080p video with nvoverlaysink

./gst-launch-1.0 filesrc=../../../1080p_h265.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux demux.video_0 ! queue ! h265parse ! omxh265dec ! nvoverlaysink

Second test (failing):

Playing 2160p60 video with nvoverlaysink

./gst-launch-1.0 filesrc=../../../2160p60_h265.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux demux.video_0 ! queue ! h265parse ! omxh265dec ! nvoverlaysink

Third test (working):

Playing 2160p60 video with nvglglessink

./gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=../../../2160p60_h265.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux demux.video_0 ! queue ! h265parse ! omxh265dec ! nvglglessink

This last test works, proving that decode is not an issue, but it doesn’t override other windows (so Gnome left bar and menus are still visible, making it impossible to scale the video perfectly to the screen).

Enabling additional logs, it seems that the 10-bit color depth is the issue (Unsupported format I420_10LE, which prevents pad creation between the decoder and final sink).

I’m trying again with 8-bit 2160p and updating ASAP.

Hi Maxbns, does your output device have 4K support? A 4K TV connecting to TX2 via HDMI?

Maxbns · September 30, 2017, 4:58pm

It’s working with a video encoded with 8-bit color depth.

However, I noticed that using nvglglessink element renders much deeper blacks for the same video.

For that reason, I switched entirely to nvglglessink, which I patched to always turn full screen (no border - no system menu or anything). The result is much better. I can provide links to achieve that if needed.

Anyone has an idea why this happens? Does the X server or other software component modifies the video to adapt it to the monitor or something? (it must be something that is not done by nvoverlaysink which maps directly to HDMI output…)

Hi Maxbns,

We can play 4K video via 4K TV with nvoverlaysink command.
The 4K video need to play through 4K TV.
You can check your TV resolution with below command:

cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode

It should show “U:3840x2160p-60”
