NvBufferTransform Failed

Hi,

I met this error in our gstreamer-base APP.
The issue was hit when we try to run a h264decode + render pipeline while there were already many pipelines running (many nvvidconv and nvv4l2h264enc, nvv4l2decoder plugins used).
It seems somehow the existing pipelines were suddenly impacted by the new pipeline.

So I would like to ask what these errors mean?
Could it be possible that we hit performance limit?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please run VIC engine at maximum clock and check if it helps:
Nvvideoconvert issue, nvvideoconvert in DS4 is better than Ds5? - #3 by DaneLLL

It is the engine of executing NvBufferTransform(). For heavy loading it is better to keep it at maximum clock.

Unfortunately, we already applied this trick by default.
But we still hit this issue.

Hi,
Another possibility is memory leak happens and triggers the issue. Do you decode UDP sources or RTSP sources in your use-case? Or what are the input sources?

One thing I noticed is that VIC frequency hit 99% all the time.
There are 9 nvv4l2h624enc (1080P,20fps) + 8 nvv4l2decoder + 50 nvvidconv (most of them just pass through) plugins used.
Will nvv4l2h264enc use VIC engine?
Is it possible that my issue is due to VIC engine limit?

Hi,
The nvv4l2h264enc plugin uses VIC engine in once case. If the input frame data to encoder is not in NV12 blocklinear, it uses VIC to convert input frames to the data format and send to NVENC.
