GStreamer with nvarguscamerasrc, no cameras avaliable

[brandonsutherland2]

I’m trying to get h265 hardware accelerated video encoding running on an Orin NX (seeed studio developer kit) running Jetpack version R35 using the commands found here: Accelerated GStreamer — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation

When I run the command in the documentation gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! nvv4l2h265enc bitrate=8000000 ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=filename_h265.mp4 -e' I get the following output:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

I have a camera plugged in and am seeing /dev/video0 and /dev/video1.

I haven’t been able to find a solution to this problem, does anyone have any ideas what could be the issue?

Hi,
Please run the commands and share the prints for reference:

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext -d /dev/video0
$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext -d /dev/video1

Would need to select v4l2src or nvarguscamerasrc plugin per the camera type. Please share the prints so that we can suggest next.

Here is the output:

I was able to get it working with the v4l2src plugin! The issue that I was having was that I didn’t realize I needed to use nvvidconv to convert between standard gstreamer plugins and nvidia plugins, rather than videoconvert.
