rtsp output working but a lot of frame errors ?

I use deepstream to process 4 ip cameras, everything is ok, I can display or record live 2 row/2 colons video but when I set up rtsp output sink, vlc or my home automation system cannot decode well the stream ? the live rtsp video is not complete and i get only a full frame time to time ?

it is not a network problem as all my ip cameras live videos are clear.

i tried several bit rates.

[sink2]
enable=1
#Type - 1=FakeSink 2=EglSink 3=File 4=RTSPStreaming
type=4
#1=h264 2=h265
codec=1
sync=0
bitrate=2000000

set below properties in case of RTSPStreaming

rtsp-port=8554
#5400
udp-port=5400

error example :

Hi,
Do you run a Jetson platform or PC with NVIDIA GPU card? We have verified it through vlc and don’t see any issue.
A user also shares his result:

Hello,

thank you for your fast repply.

I am using on nano. I have a tx2 and one xavier but not tested yet.

I see he was able to stream without any problem, I will check with him.

I got this kind of stream :

Thank you,

Laurent

in fact the rtsp output is ok with I use a file as multiple source or only one rtspcamera, but when I have more than one IP camera, the output stream contains a lot of frame errors.

it seems that I their is some timing problem muxing 2 or more rtsp camera in my case ?

I saw the user video, it is working ??

the cameras resolution is 1280x720 at 10 fps.

Hi,
Do you use the same IP cameras running in the same mode(720p, 10fps)? It looks like the framerate of sources does not match. Also if you do not upgrade to DS4.0.1, please do the upgrade.

Hello,

I use for my tests only different IP cameras form several brand (2 different trendnet model, 1 x wansview , 1x reolink, 1 x no brand ptz camera), all are handled well in DS4.0.1 for inference.

Yes I fell that it is because the streams are not exactly the same, this can affect RTSP sink ?

Saving the output mosaic into a file is ok.

What I can test is to setup the same camera as 2 separate rtsp input ?

Yes I use DS4.0.1.

Best Regards,

Laurent

I finally tested with the same camera providing stream for 2 sources I have the same problem ?

the rtsp output is still scanbled but only at the half botom of the image ?

Hi,
It might be an issue in network bandwidth. Looks like the h264 stream is not complete(maybe the bottom half part is lost). The bandwidth is good for single source, but insufficient in multiple sources.

Or do you run ‘sudo jetson_clocks’? Maybe the loading is high and performance is insufficient while CPU is running DFS( dynamic frequency scaling ).

Hello,

yes I run ‘sudo jetson_clocks’ before.

but the strange think is that the rtsp output is perfect when I use 8 sources from a file.

When we stream more than 1 rtsp sources, could it be a problem with I frames ?

Laurent

hello,

it is working now, i had to decrease I Frames rate on some cameras ??

Laurent

Hi,
I frames have larger size. It is more like an issue in bandwidth or buffering. You may try to modify deepstream-app to configure some properties in rtspsrc or queue plugin.

yes you are wright ,less I frame is less data, so i will try to modify the deepstream-app.

thank you for your help
