Nvarguscamerasrc fails to start below 2 fps : nvbuf_utils: dmabuf_fd -1 mapped entry NOT found

This is with jp512.

I try to start one pipeline with nvarguscamerasrc, but it fails if asked framerate is lower than 2fps.

The error message received is nvbuf_utils: dmabuf_fd -1 mapped entry NOT found

With v4l2, there is no problem to get even a lower framerate than 1 fps, like 0.4 fps.

qcam5@ubuntu:~$ gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=1 '!' 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=4128,height=3008,framerate=1/1' '!' fakesink

hello phdm,

may I know what’s the real use-case to fetch frames with such low frame-rate?
is it for testing only?
how about have an alternative ways to capture several JPG images for verification.
for instance,
$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 sensor-mode=0 num-buffers=101 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv ! jpegenc ! multifilesink location=~/Desktop/tmp/capture%d.jpeg -e

Hello JerryChang,

The shown command (with fakesink) is a simplified pipeline, to highlight the bug.

My real pipeline was similar to yours, using nvjpegenc and multifilesink.

It was only for testing purpose (mjpeg streaming over a slow network), but it is also interesting for night images with long exposure times.

It’s still a bug.

hello phdm,

I cannot reproduce this locally,
here’s my test pipeline to force the preview stream to 1-fps.
$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=2592, height=1944, framerate=1/1,format=NV12' ! nvvidconv ! xvimagesink

Which jetpack do you use ? I am currently using jetpack-5.1.2.

I’m testing with the latest release version, Jetpack-5.1.3.

$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release 
# R35 (release), REVISION: 5.0, GCID: 35550185, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Tue Feb 20 04:46:31 UTC 2024

OK. Let surmise that it is fixed in 5.1.3 and 6.0 too. I did not plan to switch to 5.1.3 but rather directly to 6.0.

all right, we’ve also verify this doesn’t happened with the coming JP-6 public release.
