How to resolve error "gstDecoder -- failed to retrieve next image buffer"

ART97 · November 17, 2022, 12:04pm

Hi

I am using python code from here jetson-inference/detectnet-example-2.md at master · dusty-nv/jetson-inference · GitHub and running it on a video file. I have noticed that it runs fine sometimes but then shows the error gstDecoder -- failed to retrieve next image buffer. Below is the full output

Is there anyway to resolve this issue

Hi @ART97, given the amount of messages you are getting from nvbuf_utils (which I suspect may be related to the resolution of your video), you may want to try rebuilding jetson-inference with the -DENABLE_NVMM=off cmake option:

cd jetson-inference/build
cmake -DENABLE_NVMM=off ../
make
sudo make install

If you try a video of a different/lower resolution (or more standard resolution), does that work for you?

Hi dusty_nv

Thanks for your reply. I was using videos from the camera which was set for a very high resolution. I have changed the resolution now to 1280x720 and it looks like the issue is somewhat resolved as I am not getting too much errors now.

Do you recommend any set resolution?

Thanks

Although they aren’t technically limited to these as long as the width/height are even numbers IIRC, when using the hardware codecs typically I’ve found that the standard resolutions work most reliably across a variety of input media/streams/codecs (like 1920x1080, 1280x720, 3840x2160, 640x480, ect)
