How to add metadata using probe and how to create encodebin for saving multiple video files

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics DeepStream SDK

Hello everyone,
I am trying to modify “deepstream-nvdsanalytics-test” for my use case. My use-case includes saving multiple video files and showing some data over frame by using buffer probe.

Right now I am able to save a single videofile using file-sink. I want to know if I can use something similar to decode-bin which is used to handle multiple sources. If not then how can I create multiple file-sink to encode and save multiple videos.

For my second issue (showing data over frame) I tried implementing snippet of code which is implemented in “osd_sink_pad_buffer_probe” function in "/app/common-apps/deepstream-test1/deepstream_test1.c " but I got error which is mentioned below-

deepsteam_nvdsanalytics_test.cpp:123:46: error: invalid conversion from 'gpointer {aka void*}' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
         txt_params->display_text = g_malloc0 (MAX_DISPLAY_LEN);
                                    ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
deepsteam_nvdsanalytics_test.cpp:132:45: warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]
         txt_params->font_params.font_name = "Serif";

Please let me know if any information is required from my side.
Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I have tried code taken from this post -

Here the pipeline is written to save image file and I have edited my sink-bin so that I can save the video file. Below I have mentioned the pipeline of sink-bin and the error I am facing while trying the code in above post.

sink-bin:
queue -> nvvidconv -> cap-filter("video/x-raw(Memory:NVMM), format = l420") -> h264encoder(nvv4l2h264enc) -> codecparse(h264parse) -> qtmux -> filesink

Hey Customer,
Pls fill your setup info firstly.
Regarding the error your first code snippet, you can refer Using the nvdsanalytics plugin - c++ only? - #5 by bcao .
