NX gstreamer h265 encoding fails after 100 odd encoding

[haribr58m]

Hi,

We have requirement to encode 3 video streams of size 1472x540 via gstreamer.

System details:
** R32.4.3**
** Kernel version 4.9.140-tegra**

We use c program to perform the operation
Pipeline looks as follows

gst_parse_launch_full: parsing pipeline description 'appsrc name=appsrc_cam0_full ! rawvideoparse use-sink-caps=false width=1472 height=540 format=gray16-le ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! timeoverlay ! omxh265enc ! h265parse ! queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=trt_xtend_00.mkv sync=false async=false appsrc name=appsrc_cam1_full ! rawvideoparse use-sink-caps=false width=1472 height=540 format=gray16-le ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! timeoverlay ! omxh265enc ! h265parse ! queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=trt_xtend_01.mkv sync=false async=false appsrc name=appsrc_cam2_full ! rawvideoparse use-sink-caps=false width=1472 height=540 format=gray16-le ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! timeoverlay ! omxh265enc ! h265parse ! queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=trt_xtend_02.mkv sync=false async=false

After continuosly running 140 odd shots, C application crashes with the following errors. Please find the extented log here encode-crash-gstreamer.txt (1.5 MB)

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I had tried using nvv4l2h265enc and still leading to crash.

Kindly provide support to fix the issue.

Thanks

Hi,
Are you able to try latest r32.5.1(Jetpack 4.5.1)? See if it happens on latest release.

Hi,
Is it possible to update the encode dependencies in the R32.4.3 to the latest? Listing the step to do so would be helpful?

Thanks

[DaneLLL]

Hi,
The source code of nvv4l2h265enc plugin is public. It is gst-v4l2 in
https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/l4t/r32_release_v5.1/r32_release_v5.1/sources/t186/public_sources.tbz2

You may try to build gst-v4l2 of r32.5.1 and replace libgstnvvideo4linux2.so to r32.4.3. Check if it helps this case.
Since the version mismatches, please store the original lib as backup.
