NVPARSER: HEVC: Seeking is not performed on IRAP picture

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU)
Jetson Nano
• DeepStream Version
6.0.1
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)

• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs)
Bug
• How to reproduce the issue ? (This is for bugs. Including which sample app is using, the configuration files content, the command line used and other details for reproducing)

What triggers the following message when decoding a RTSP H.265 stream? It causes frame drops which in turn results in bad tracker performance (duplicates).

Besides, it creates image artifacts.

sorry for the late reply! please refer to this topic.

Sorry for the late reply, Is this still an DeepStream issue to support? Thanks!

hi @fanzh

we are still unable to run our pipeline with RTSP inputs with h265 encoding using Hikvision camera’s as it results in the above issues.

  1. could you dump some stream by the following method?
gst-launch-1.0 <your different source> ! \
rtph265depay ! \
h265parse ! 'video/x-h265,stream-format=byte-stream' !  \
filesink location=test.h265
  1. About “artifacts”, do you mean In one frame, the both sides are from the same source. but at the different time?
  2. could you try drop-on-latency=False? wondering if it is caused by The Network.

another issue we encounter in production with h265 streams is the following message upon which the stream image freezes but connection remains. This happens either at starting the pipeline or at random while connection remains. It sometimes requires multiple pipeline restarts.

deepstream Stream format not found, dropping the frame

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

this log means decoder failed to decode. to narrow down this issue.

  1. will the rendering return normal after that reporting this error at starting the pipeline or at random?
  2. if using software decoder avdec_h265, can the app still report this error? wondering it is decoder bug or stream issue.
