Nvv4l2decoder got stuck in Deepstream6.1.1

• Hardware Platform ( GPU): A30X
• DeepStream Version: 6.1.1
• TensorRT Version: 8.4.1.5
**• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version: 515.65.01 **
• Issue Type: questions

I started the DeepStream docker container (nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream: 6.1.1-devel) and ran the following pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 -e filesrc location=./xxx.mp4 !
qtdemux !
h264parse !
nvv4l2decoder !
fakesink dump=True

However, nvv4l2decoder got stuck in Deepstream6.1.1.
Do you know why nvv4l2decoder stucks?
Is there a problem with the execution environment?

The environment is:
Hardware Platform(GPU):A30X
docker image:nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream:6.1.1-devel
OS:ubuntu20.04
cuda:11.7.1
GPU Driver:515.65.01
TensorRT Version:8.4.1.5

Is there any output after executing the command? You can add "GST_DEBUG=3 " before gst-launch-1.0 to enable more log to find more clues.

The following log was output:.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem with 2 A30 GPUs on the same server.
The kind of deadlock happens with driver 515.65.01 and also 515.48.07.
In my case I tried it with a h265 stream, but I guess it would happen with h264 too.
We are running DeepStream 6.0.1, but the same happens with the docker image of 6.1 and 5.1-21.02.

Using CPU decoder make my pipeline works, and of course it’s not an option.

We have another server with the same A30 GPU that is working fine with driver 510.47.03.

We haven’t tested yet to downgrade the driver version on the server running with 515.

gst-launch output gives me:

Then nothing happens.

Downgrading to 510.85.02 made my pipeline work!
Something is bad with 515 and A30. (I have 515 with A100 and other GPUs working fine).

The issue specific to A30 card. internal bug filed to track this issue.

Thanks @Amycao, will you post here news when it’s fixed? just to know when we can update safely the drivers.

Yes.
