How to tell the source id in Deepstream 4.0 custom plugin

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics DeepStream SDK

Hello,

On tx2 4g, we are developing custom plugin that can process data from nvstreammux.

video0 –
. |
–nvstreammux----crenh—nvstreamdemux–…
. |
video1–

This plugin will handle video streams from two different source elements separately. However, we could not tell which surface was from which upstream sink pad in nvstreammux. i.e.

// Map the buffer so that it can be accessed by CPU
if (NvBufSurfaceMap(temp_buf, param->active_sink, -1, NVBUF_MAP_READ_WRITE) != 0) {
    g_assert(false);
}

.........

NvBufSurfaceUnMap (temp_buf, param->active_sink, -1);

we expected to get video source0 when param->active_sink == 0, and video source 1 when param->active_sink==1. But it did not come out that way, the two video sources came in randomly.

So the question is, how can our plugin tell a surface is from video n in nvstreammux?

Hi,
You may not configure batch-size correctly. Please refer to

For developing the custom plugin, suggest you refer to dsexample.

Batch-size was not wrong.
the answer lies in this comment of the reference link:

frame_meta->source_id - id of stream
frame_meta->batch_id - id surface of this stream in surfaceList

I should use frame_meta->source_id to tell source id.
