Sequence of pictures to use object detection and tracking by appsrc

Hi, I am using a sequence of pictures to use object detection and tracking by appsrc. When in the pipeline don’t have primary-inference, they work fine, but if I add primary inference, I can’t see the picture shown in my display. Please help me!

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) dGPU
• DeepStream Version 6.1
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only)
• TensorRT Version 8
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only) 11.6
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs) question

what does “When in the pipeline don’t have primary-inference, they work fine,” means? what is your media pipeline? please refer to some samples deepstream-appsrc-test, deepstream_python_apps/apps at master · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps · GitHub

I mean that I use the input as numpy source. I see Gst.ElementFactory.make("appsrc", "numpy-source"). So I call my pipeline is appsrc, sorry for my bad English. I refer Appsrc with numpy input in Python - #8 by gautampt6ul . But I add primary inference, the pipeline doesn’t work. It’s show only black screen

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, first you can use file as input source, please refer to deepstream
then modify source to appsrc.
