Omxh264enc not work, when profile set to main or high, and number-B-Frames set to 1 or 2

Hi All
In r32.2, I found a problem I want to use omxh264enc enable B frame, when I set omxh264enc profile=(main or high) number-B-Frames=2 , pipeline can’t work, but when I set omxh264enc profile=baseline number-B-Frames=2, it can work. if I change jetpack version to r28, omxh264enc profile=main/high number-B-Frames=2 can work

There is error information

High and main profile can support B frame

Can you tell me why I can not use number-B-Frames on Main and high profile?

Hi,
PLease try nvv4l2h264enc

$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12' ! nvv4l2h264enc cabac-entropy-coding=1 num-B-Frames=1 ! 'video/x-h264,profile=high,stream-format=byte-stream' ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=a.mp4

There is a known issue about setting num-B-Frames=2. Please check the post.

Hi DaneLLL
When I use nvv4l2h264enc element, CABAC and B frame can work. thanks for your help.

But now I found a new problem, I cann’t use CAVLC in high or main profile on nvv4l2h264enc element

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! "video/x-raw,width=1920, height=1080" ! nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, format=NV12" ! nvv4l2h264enc num-B-Frames=1 bitrate=8000000 preset-level=4 profile=2 insert-sps-pps=true cabac-entropy-coding=0 ! "video/x-h264, stream-format=byte-stream" ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=main_test.mp4

I use gst-rtsp-server to send stream, then use wireshark to get pps value, and found always enable CABAC. please check it.

Hi,
It seems not expected. We will check and update.
