Video encoder causes crash when using WebRTC and gstreamer

I’m using the webrtc library provided for the Jestson Nano and passing video frame data from gstreamer to the rtc::AdaptedVideoTrackSource::onFrame. This will work but crash after a few times of re-connecting the peer and restarting the video stream. I’m using the CreateNvVideoEncoderFactory when creating the peer connection factory. This crash does not occur if I use the BuiltinVideoEncoderFactory. The following is the stack trace of the crash

Thread 73 "EncoderQueue" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I am still learning gstreamer and webrtc, so any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Please share your release version:

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

And do you use the package we provided on the release page:
https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra
NVIDIA Hardware Acceleration in the WebRTC Framework

Hi @DaneLLL, thanks for the response.
The output of cat /etc/nv_tegra_release is

# R32 (release), REVISION: 6.1, GCID: 27863751, BOARD: t210ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Mon Jul 26 19:20:30 UTC 2021

I am using this webrtc package: https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads#?search=webrtc
Could this be the culprit?
I shall give the package provided on the release page a try

Hi @DaneLLL, using the correct version of the library has solved the issue. Thanks for the help
