Nvarguscamera crashes after frequent restarts

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) - Jetson
• DeepStream Version - 6.0
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only) - 4.6
• TensorRT Version - 8.0
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only)
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs) - bugs

In my deepstream app, I had to switch between different deepstream pipelines. After few restarts of the deepstream pipeline, the nvarguscamera plugin fails to capture frames and throws the below error:
Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, execute:736 Failed to create CaptureSession

The issue is not frequent though. I had to restart the daemon using sudo systemctl restart nvargus-daemon and start the application again.
May I know the resolution for this issue.

Team,

Any lead on this please.

Hello @arivarasan.e , Sorry for the late reply, we are checking but it seems not to be relevant with deepstream, may move this topic to other forum later.

Hi,
Please share which Jetson platform you are using, such as Xavier or TX2.

Hi,
It looks like the camera is not stable and is not successfully launched in the error condition. Please share information about the camera, such as vendor and model ID.

Hi,
Please run this python code and check if you observe the issue:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import gi
import time
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
from gi.repository import Gst, GObject, GLib

pipeline = None
bus = None
message = None

# initialize GStreamer
Gst.init(None)

for i in range(1, 5566):
    print("loop =",i," ")
    # build the pipeline
    pipeline = Gst.parse_launch(
        "nvarguscamerasrc ! fakesink "
    )

    # start playing
    print("Switch to PLAYING state")
    pipeline.set_state(Gst.State.PLAYING)

    time.sleep(8)
    print("Send EoS")
    Gst.Element.send_event(pipeline, Gst.Event.new_eos())
    # wait until EOS or error
    bus = pipeline.get_bus()
    msg = bus.timed_pop_filtered(
        Gst.CLOCK_TIME_NONE, Gst.MessageType.EOS)

    # free resources
    print("Switch to NULL state")
    pipeline.set_state(Gst.State.NULL)
    time.sleep(2)

Hi,

I’m unable to see the display, but the script runs without any error:

Hi,
It nvarguscamerasrc ! fakesink can pass 5566 times in loop, the source looks fine and the issue probably is somewhere else. Please try to apply the whole pipeline to the sample and check if the issue happens. You can make sure the pipeline is good in gst-launch-1.0 command first and then apply the same to Gst.parse_launch()

Here is a gst-launch-1.0 command for reference:
