No such element or plugin 'nvoverlaysink' in deepstream 6.1

[user147114]

Hi,
When I was trying to use nvoverlaysink plugin in my pipeline, I get this error:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element “nvoverlaysink”

when I checked if it exists or not using gst-inspect-1.0:

gst-inspect-1.0 nvoverlaysink
No such element or plugin ‘nvoverlaysink’

Is the nvoverlaysink is removed from deepstream 6.1?
If it is removed, is there any alternative for it ?

• Hardware Platform (Jetson AGX Orin)
• DeepStream Version 6.1
• JetPack Version 5.0.1
• TensorRT Version 8.4.0.11

Please use nvdrmvideosink or nveglglesksink, suggest use the first one on Jetson, the second will take GPU usage.

Is there a way to integrate nvoverlaysink into deepstream 6.1 ?

[Amycao]

The nvoverlaysink plugin is deprecated in L4T release 32.1. Please use nvdrmvideosink or nv3dsink for rendering gst-v4l2 decoder output.

Is there an example code that uses nvdrmvideosink or nv3dsink plugin ?

I tried to run:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=<filename.mp4> ! qtdemux name=demux ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvdrmvideosink -e

and I got the following error:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element “omxh264dec”

One example to use nvdrmvideosink, you need to disable X, by sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target, reboot the device.
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location= /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h264.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! m.sink_0 nvstreammux name=m width=1920 height=1080 batch-size=1 ! nvinfer config-file-path= /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/configs/deepstream-app/config_infer_primary.txt ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=(string)NV12’ ! nvdrmvideosink conn_id=1 plane_id=0 set_mode=0

@Amycao
After Running:

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
sudo reboot

The Orin doesn’t show any screen or terminal as if it is closed. I accessed it using SSH, then run your command:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location= /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h264.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! m.sink_0 nvstreammux name=m width=1920 height=1080 batch-size=1 ! nvinfer config-file-path= /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/configs/deepstream-app/config_infer_primary.txt ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=(string)NV12’ ! nvdrmvideosink conn_id=1 plane_id=0 set_mode=0

it outputs:

I used nvstart-weston.sh to open DRM then run the command again. it outputs:

Any Ideas ?

[Amycao]

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Change to conn_id=1 and try again.

Did this still be an issue?
For orin, you need to install nvidia-drm driver by sudo modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1
