Jetson TX2
Jetpack 3.1
Opencv 3.3.0 Installation link: https://github.com/jetsonhacks/buildOpenCVTX2
Python 2.7.12
I have uninstalled OpenCV4Tegra before installing OpenCV 3.3.0
i’m using the following code::
import numpy as np
import cv2
uri= "uridecodebin uri=rtsp://<ip_address>/onvif1 ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! appsink"
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(uri)
while(True):
try:
ret, frame = cap.read()
cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
except:
print "Unable to open"
# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
This code works fine most of the times.
Build Information
GStreamer:

video: YES (ver 1.8.3)

But it gives following errors sometime :

There are some more errors regarding gstreamer pipeline.
Can I know the solution?
Could you try to use
rtspsrc location= rtsp://255.255.255.255/test name=r latency=0 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! decodebin ! appsink
Thanks for the reply.
Yes. I tried this.
It’s also giving the same error.
Infact it never opens the stream.
Could you try these pipelines by using gst-launch-1.0 and see if any error first?
I used gst-launch-1.0 for both. Tt gives the same following errors for both
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://<ip_address>/etc ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! appsink
It gives the following same errors

And the other one

Its giving following error:

Could you try to use fakesink first?
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://<ip_address>/etc name=r latency=0 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! decodebin ! fakesink
The error “No supported authentication protocol was found”. Are you sure your rtsp server is working? Could you use vlc or any client app to do streaming first?
I tried to do so.
I have two types of rtsp.
First I’m getting from DVR of the form
rtsp://user:password@<ip>:<port>/cam/realmonitor?channel=11&subtype=0
This URL gives that authentication error by using gst-launch-1.0
But this works fine with OpenCV 3.3.0 and gstreamer 1.8.3 on Jetson
And the other one from IP camera Sricam SP007 of the format
rtsp://<ip_address>/onvif1
Gives all the errors of OpenCV 3.3.0 mentioned except the authentication one.
- Using gst-launch-1.0 it gives following output for the command::
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://<ip_address>/onvif1" name=r latency=0 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! decodebin ! fakesink

And using OpenCV the error mentioned and the start.
-
Using ffplay it works fine. Opens the stream. using ffmpeg also it works fine.
Just OpenCV isnt able to do so sometimes. I want reliable streaming from the IP camera.
Can I know if streaming with rtsp+onvif1 need some other plugins or some command line arguments?
Hi pharatekomal,
There are still something to clarify.
This URL gives that authentication error by using gst-launch-1.0
But this works fine with OpenCV 3.3.0 and gstreamer 1.8.3 on Jetson
What is the difference here between gst-launch-1.0 and gstreamer1.8.3? They are supposed to be the same thing. Do you mean some rtsp plugin from gstreamer 1.8.3?
OpenCV 3.3 works fine under this camera, right?
For second camera, looks like gstreamer can work. Could you try it with gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=“rtsp://<ip_address>/onvif1” name=r latency=0 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! decodebin ! nvoverlaysink on Tegra to see if preview is shown?
This thread has successful example, could you take a look?

I meant OpenCV3.3.0 which is using gstreamer 1.8.3 internally is giving the issue
While using gst-launch-1.0 command line tool, streaming works fine.
Actually I’m able to stream IP camera. But like 3 out of 10 times it fails giving the gstreamer OpenCV issue mentioned at very first.
Using gst-launch and ffmpeg or ffplay these URLs works fine.
The issue is with OpenCV streaming Videocapture.

Like if it’s works with gst-launch anf ffmpeg consistently, then why it isnt consistent with OpenCV.
And if it gets opened
Also while doing
cap.release()
It sometimes gives following error
(node:6523): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:

You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.
This problem may also be caused by a refcounting bug in the

I tried to stream using suggested URL
1.
But its not able to open the stream
and gives some errors.
- The option mentioned by you.
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://<ip_address>/onvif1" name=r latency=0 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! decodebin ! nvoverlaysink
Gives this output
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "nvoverlaysink"
While
I tried ::
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=\"rtsp://<ip_adrees>/onvif1\" ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink
And
uri="rtspsrc location=\"rtsp://<ip_adrees>/onvif1\" ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink"
cam=cv2.VideoCapture(uri)
#do something
cam.release()
Works fine for me maximum times.
Just need to solve issues mentioned while opening and releasibg the stream(3 out of 10 times).
I hope I’m not confusing.
Thanks
Could you try to check cap status before read frame?
cap.isOpened()
Yes I do check.
The error occurs at VideoCapture only.
