Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only) 4.5
• TensorRT Version
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only)
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs) bug

I see that after upgrading to Jetpack 4.5 Gstreamer plugin nvv4l2decoder is now missing bufapi-version parameter, but release notes do not mention any changes to Gstreamer, and the plugin version is still 1.14.0.

Are there any other undocumented/breaking changes?

Hi,
We change the implementation to check environment variable DS_NEW_BUFAPI. Please check Note in document:
https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/dev-guide/text/DS_sample_custom_gstream.html#other-supporting-functions

And dsexample sample:

deepstream-5.0/sources/gst-plugins/gst-dsexample/gstdsexample.cpp:  g_setenv ("DS_NEW_BUFAPI", "1", TRUE);
