nvv4l2h265enc: Device '/dev/nvhost-msenc' failed during initialization

timl6bbz · June 4, 2019, 9:00pm

While test driving DeepStream 4.0-ea, I ran into an error with the nvv4l2h265enc encoder. At first, I thought it replaced v4l2src and automatically took care of DMA and h265 encoding (which would be pretty nice). Anyway, the plugin documentation through gst-inspect-1.0 is a little hazy on the details, but I remembered a pipeline for the jetson nano and figured it would work similarly. It’s still pretty exciting to see an h265 encoder bundled with the SDK! It avoids me having to build gstreamer from source to get nvenc and nvdec elements.

DeepStream 3.0 pipeline (tegra):

gst-launch-1.0 -ve nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)3280, height=(int)2464, format=(string)NV12' ! nvv4l2h265enc ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

DeepStream 4.0 pipeline (tesla):

gst-launch-1.0 -ve v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw, width=(int)4208, height=(int)3120, format=(string)UYVY' ! videoconvert ! 'video/x-raw, format=(string)I420' ! nvvideoconvert ! nvv4l2h265enc ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

Fails with the error:

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/nvv4l2h265enc:nvv4l2h265enc0: Device '/dev/nvhost-msenc' failed during initialization

Hi timl6bbz,

Please try below pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 -ve v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! nvvideoconvert ! nvv4l2h265enc bufapi-version=true ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

We’re confirmed this is working on Jetson-Xavier.

timl6bbz · June 10, 2019, 10:56pm

I’m trying to run this pipeline on Deepstream for Tesla (4.0-ea). I tried the pipeline you recommended but bufapi-version is not a known property of nvv4l2h265enc. Without that property, I get the same error as before.

carolyuu · June 11, 2019, 1:06am

Hi timl6bbz,

For dGPU, please run below pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 -ve v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoscale ! 'video/x-raw, width=(int)4208, height=(int)3120, format=(string)UYVY' ! videoconvert ! 'video/x-raw, format=(string)I420' ! nvvideoconvert ! nvv4l2h265enc ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

timl6bbz · June 11, 2019, 6:44pm

That’s the same pipeline as my first post without videoscale because my camera can output 4208x3120. I still get the same error ‘Device ‘/dev/nvhost-msenc’ failed during initialization’.

Hi timl6bbz,

We can’t reproduce your issue on both 2080 RTX and Tesla T4.
Could you list your system requirement?
ex: Ubuntu version, cuda version, TensorRT version and Linux x86_64 Nvidia Driver Version…

timl6bbz · June 14, 2019, 6:27pm

GPUs tested: 1080Ti, 2080Ti
Driver versions tested: 418.67, 430.14
Cuda versions tested: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2
Docker image: deepstream:4.0-ea

I just pull the docker image:

docker pull nvcr.io/nvdeepstream/deepstream:4.0-ea

run it:

docker run --runtime=nvidia -it --rm --device /dev/video0 -v /mnt/data:/data nvcr.io/nvdeepstream/deepstream:4.0-ea

and then execute:

gst-launch-1.0 -ve v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw, width=(int)4208, height=(int)3120, format=(string)UYVY' ! videoconvert ! 'video/x-raw, format=(string)I420' ! nvvideoconvert ! nvv4l2h265enc ! h265parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

which fails with the output from my second post.

carolyuu · June 20, 2019, 4:15am

Hi timl6bbz,

in the docker image is there device node /dev/nvidia0 ?
OR is there /dev/nvidia1 node ?

kayccc · July 2, 2019, 3:16am

Hi timl6bbz,

Is this still an issue in your side?
Any result can be shared?

Thanks

kayccc · July 30, 2019, 5:29am

Hi timl6bbz,

We have released the DeepSteam SDK 4.0 at last week, please move to this new version for more features and supports, see [url]Announcing DeepStream SDK 4.0 - Announcements - NVIDIA Developer Forums

Thanks
