One of the most common questions/requests we get related to our DeepStream Services Library (DSL) is how to upscale/downscale the video framerate. In certain cases, we’ve been able to use the GStreamer videorate plugin with great results. However, the lack of NVMM support limits its use when working with a DeepStream pipeline.

This is a request for a new NVIDIA DeepStream version of the plugin (nvviderate) that supports NVMM. Based on our feedback, we believe this would be helpful for many others as well.

What do you mean by “the lack of NVMM support limits its use”? There is no limitation for “NVMM” with videorate. What is the exact problem you have met with videorate?

My apologies @Fiona.Chen I was getting an error when linking the viderate plugin in downstream of the vnvvideoconvert - “no common format”. I thought I had it chased down to the adding of the gst_caps_features_new("memory:NVMM", NULL); but it was something else.

It is working like a charm.

Thanks again for the quick response. Feel free to delete, mark as invalid, or whatever works best for you.

Robert.
