I believe the issue with the pipeline is the format field in the caps of v4l2src. I suggest the following pipeline using the same format as the v4l2-ctl command which you reported is working.
@-desktop:~$ nvgstcapture-1.0 --camsrc=0
Encoder null, cannot set bitrate!
Encoder Profile = High
Runtime USB Camera Commands:
Help : ‘h’
Quit : ‘q’
Set Capture Mode:
mo:
(1): image
(2): video
Get Capture Mode:
gmo
Capture: enter ‘j’ OR
followed by a timer (e.g., jx5000, capture after 5 seconds) OR
followed by multishot count (e.g., j:6, capture 6 images)
timer/multihot values are optional, capture defaults to single shot with timer=0s
Start Recording : enter ‘1’
Stop Recording : enter ‘0’
Set Preview Resolution:
pcr: e.g., pcr:2
(0) : 176x144
(1) : 320x240
(2) : 640x480
(3) : 1280x720
(4) : 1920x1080
NOTE: Preview/Encode resolution will be same as Capture resolution for USB-Camera
Get Preview Resolution:
gpcr
Get Image Capture Resolution:
gicr
Get Video Capture Resolution:
gvcr
Set Capture Device Node:
cdn: e.g., cdn:0
(0): /dev/video0
(1): /dev/video1
(2): /dev/video2
Get Capture Device Node:
gcdn
Runtime encoder configuration options:
Set Encoding Bit-rate(in bytes):
br: e.g., br:4000000
Get Encoding Bit-rate(in bytes):
gbr
Set Encoding Profile(only for H.264):
ep: e.g., ep:1
(0): Baseline
(1): Main
(2): High
Get Encoding Profile(only for H.264):
gep
Force IDR Frame on video Encoder(only for H.264):
Enter ‘f’
