Hello!
I’m currently working in an AGX Xavier, and I’m trying to develop a method for adaptive bitrate in a video pipeline. First, I checked the element nvv4l2h264enc for encoding, using the next command:
gst-inspect-1.0 nvv4l2h264enc
And checked the bitrate property of the element that says the following:
bitrate : Set bitrate for v4l2 encode
flags: readable, writable, changeable only in NULL or READY state
Unsigned Integer. Range: 0 - 4294967295 Default: 4000000
First, I was worried since it says in can only be changed in NULL or READY state, but I tested it with the GstD Tool from RidgeRun. With this tool, I was able to make changes to the bitrate property in PLAYING state and it worked. So I wanted to share about this missing information in the documentation of the nvv4l2h264enc element.
Thank you!
