Gstreamer shmsink pipeline does not display out of the docker container

Hi,

I was trying to run a gstreamer pipeline inside a docker container which sinks a videoestsrc using an shmsink and it creates a socket file as shown below:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=smpte ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 ! shmsink socket-path=ck sync=false shm-size=200000000

the problem is in the receiving end which does not display the testvideo in both docker container and out the container. The below pipeline is the receiving pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 shmsrc socket-path=ck ! video/x-raw,format=I420,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

the error generated from the above receiving pipeline as follows when running without sudo:

(gst-launch-1.0:11646): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 15:07:16.650: gst_poll_remove_fd: assertion 'fd->fd >= 0' failed

When running with sudo

 sudo gst-launch-1.0 shmsrc socket-path=/home/usr/MD/ck ! video/x-raw,format=I420,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

How to resolve this issue. Is there any method of reading a file inside the docker container since the docker runs in root privileges?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We don’t have experience about using the plugins. Would need other users to check and share experience.

Foo sending video frame data, generally we use UDP or RTSP. You may refer to the setup in Jetson Nano FAQ

Q: Is there any example of running RTSP streaming?
