I’m trying to add nvds meta before streammux and acquire it on nvv4l2h264enc’s src. As far as I know, I can get my nvdsMeta before nvv4l2h264enc with batch_meta. When I attach a probe on nvv4l2h264enc src pad , it appears that all gst_meta include nvds_meta were abandoned. Is there any possible to keep nvds_meta alive until nvv4l2h264enc’src pad?

nvv4l2h264enc will output h264 data, which is encoded data. why do you want to keep nvds_meta alive until nvv4l2h264enc’src pad?

Because I have some info like timestamp. I add it into buffer . So I can get this frame’s real time when I encode this frame. Then used it to generate sei to push together

1 nvv4l2h264enc can’t output meta data ,please refer to official doc: Gst-nvvideo4linux2 — DeepStream 6.0.1 Release documentation
2 you can get meta data before nvv4l2h264enc, please refer to deepstream-test5.
