Test_3 python app for USB cameras

I am trying to modify the deepstream_sdk_v4.0.2_jetson/sources/python/apps/deepstream-test3/deepstream_test_3.py to adopt with multiple USB cameras. I tried to combine what I understood from https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1066912/deepstream-sdk/deepstream-now-supports-python-/post/5408100/#5408100 (which is related to test_1) and https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1061855/deepstream-sdk/how-to-run-deepstream-test3-with-usb-camera/post/5377948/#5377948 (which seems to be a working C version of test_3 for multiple USB cameras). But, clearly I am missing something and my code is not working!

Here is my code:

Obviously there is a problem in line 236, but my problem is more than that. Is my overall approach correct? What am I missing here? I am really confused.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
You may change all resolutions in python code to 960x720 and try again.

The pipeline of your source should be

v4l2src ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=960,height=720,framerate=15/1 ! videoconvert ! nvvideoconvert ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12'

Worked for me. Thanks.

Hi, where did you change this width and height in the code?

Where should I change/add this in the python code?
