Hello I am trying to create a deepstream pipeline that has a TEE and outputs to 3 branches.

#                                       ,-> vidconv1 -> jpegenc1 -> multifilesink1
# nvinfer -> capsfilter -> tee  -> demux -> vidconv2 -> jpegenc2 -> multifilesink2
#                              `-> appsink
#                              `-> queue -> tiler -> dsosd -> eglsink

• nvstreamdemux,
• appsink and
• tiler

All my application logic is in appsink. It was working fine without the tiler. But after I added the tiler, it transforms nvdsbatchmeta and the detection bbox coordinates are all transformed by the tiler. So a bbox in src-id=2, is moved by more than 1 feed width depending on how the tiler calculated its position. My application logic fails due to this messup.

Is there a way for me to keep the tiler branch’s copy of nvdsbatchmeta isolated from appsink’s copy of nvdsbatchmeta? I think even a simple copy plugin can help with that… or can I push to tiler after appsink?

Is there a gstreamer/deepstream plugin that will let me do that?

How to achieve this? Are there any alternative ideas/suggestions? Please help!

what will you do in appsink? you can copy meta in appsink, please refer to nvds_copy_frame_meta, nvds_copy_obj_meta.

In appsink, the NvDsBatchMeta that I get is modified by the tiler and the value is all wrong. Meaning it is too late for me to make a copy inside appsink. I need to prevent the tiler from modifying the batchmeta. Is there a way to do it?

you can add appsink to tee first, then add tiler to tee. tee will push buffer to appsink first.
