How to run Deepstream test python apps using CSI camera?

Deepstream test2 python, I have tried with USB camera with the below code.

# Standard GStreamer initialization
    GObject.threads_init()
    Gst.init(None)

    # Create gstreamer elements
    # Create Pipeline element that will form a connection of other elements

    # Adding videoconvert -> nvvideoconvert as not all
    # raw formats are supported by nvvideoconvert;

    # raw format for many logi usb cams
    # In case we have a camera with raw format supported in
    # nvvideoconvert, GStreamer plugins' capability negotiation
    # shall be intelligent enough to reduce compute by
    # videoconvert doing passthrough (TODO we need to confirm this)

I am unable to use this with CSI camera, Unable to add the below command to elements of the pipeline:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=3820, height=2464, framerate=21/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv flip-method=0 ! 'video/x-raw,width=960, height=616' ! nvvidconv ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink -e

The above pipeline alone is running from command line perfectly.Can someone say how to modify the above command to python?

Have you tried implementing your CSI camera pipeline referring to the test2 python code?
what’s the error you are facing? Can you share your code for check?

Hi shivakumarrk121,

We haven’t heard back from you in a couple weeks, so marking this topic closed.
Please open a new forum issue when you are ready and we’ll pick it up there.

For CSI camera, please check this post:
