Gstreamer pipeline not working inside docker container

essamgouda97 · November 24, 2021, 6:51am

My current pipeline is:

v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoscale ! videorate  ! video/x-raw, format=YUY2, width=640, height=480, framerate=1/1 ! videoconvert ! pngenc ! appsink emit-signals=True drop=True sync=False pulsesrc device=alsa_input.usb-MACROSILICON_USB_Video-02.analog-stereo blocksize=4096 ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! appsink emit-signals=True drop=True sync=False throttle-time=1000000000

This is working on my Jetson nano normally but when I try it inside a simple docker container it gives me the following errer:

GLib.Error: gst_parse_error: no element "pulsesrc" (1)

Now after some research I added the following lines into my docker build file:

RUN apt-get install -y \ 
    gstreamer-1.0  \
    gstreamer1.0-dev \
    python3-gi \
    python-gst-1.0 \
    libgirepository1.0-dev \
    libcairo2-dev \
    gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 \
    libgstreamer1.0-0 \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-base \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
    gstreamer1.0-libav \
    gstreamer1.0-doc \
    gstreamer1.0-tools \
    gstreamer1.0-x \
    gstreamer1.0-alsa \
    gstreamer1.0-gl \
    gstreamer1.0-gtk3 \
    gstreamer1.0-qt5 \
    gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio```

This solved the pulsesrc error but another one was generated:

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSrc:pulsesrc0: Failed to connect: Connection refused

So I decided to change my docker run command to:

nvidia-docker run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --network="host" --restart=always --privileged=True -v /tmp/argus_socket:/tmp/argus_socket -it main-container:latest```

Now I am getting the following errors:

Hi,

Nsight is the wrong category for this topic. Moving this to the Jetson Nano forum.

Best,

Hi,
You may try to install required gstreamer plugins and then add the libraries to

/etc/nvidia-container-runtime/host-files-for-container.d/l4t.csv

If you are able to run the same command without docker and it does not work in docker, it should be missing certain files. Please check and add the files to l4t.csv and then launch docker.

I have added lib, /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstpulseaudio.so there but I am still getting the same error:

When I remove --user $(id -u):$(id -g) from my docker run command I only get

After multiple tests, I believe that it is a pulseaudio error due to Home directory not accessible: Permission denied does this happen due error in permissions ?

The gstreamer pipeline runs successfully outside docker but inside it doesn’t, but when I run the gstreamer pipeline outside docker as a root user it gives me the same error I have when I run it inside docker. Any suggestions how to fix that ?

I tried creating a new user while building the docker file using the useradd command and I give it the same groups as the user that successfully runs the command outside docker but still no luck.

Hi,
Not sure if it helps, but please try
Gst-launch-1.0 -vv alsasrc ! alsasink does not work in docker - #9 by DaneLLL

essamgouda97 · November 26, 2021, 1:43am

Thank you so much !
It worked, I just had to replace pulsesrc with alsasrc in my pipeline and follow the steps you provided.
Really appreciate your help, Nvidia mods the the rescue again :D.
