passing gst-launch from nvcamerasrc to v4l2sink

Hi,

I’m trying to get Leopard Imaging IMX185 camera with nvcamerasrc output to v4l2sink but fail to accomplish it after some attempt. The following is the pipeline i attempted:

gst-launch-1.0 --gst-debug-level=3 nvcamerasrc ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)30/1’ ! nvtee ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)30/1’ ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video3
0:00:00.042475886 7498 0x59a0c0 ERROR GST_PIPELINE grammar.y:642:gst_parse_perform_link: could not link nvvconv0 to v4l2sink0

The following is the output of the gst-inspect-1.0 v4l2sink

Please advice if it is possible to pass the nvcamerasrc to v4l2sink?

Hi kimchuan,
nvvidconv can output ‘video/x-raw’. Please try
gst-launch-1.0 --gst-debug-level=3 nvcamerasrc ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)30/1’ ! nvtee ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! ‘video/x-raw, format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)30/1’ ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video3

Hi DaneLLL,

no luck with the pipeline you suggested.

is it possible to sink to v4l2sink?

Hi kimchuan,
I think the problem is how you make /dev/video3. By default, it fails at earlier stage:

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ gst-launch-1.0 --gst-debug-level=3 nvcamerasrc !

You can verify nvvidconv output via xvimagesink

Have you ensured that /dev/video3 is in I420?

Hi DaneLLL, may I know where you get the error message “ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Sink:v4l2sink0: Cannot identify device ‘/dev/video3’.”? My TX1 never give me the error message.

Hi kimchuan,
On TX1 with r24.2.1, I only see /dev/video0 which is default camera ov5693

DaneLLL, my /dev/video3 is created with v4l2loopback
see GitHub - umlaeute/v4l2loopback: v4l2-loopback device

Hi kimchuan,
We have confirmed the case is not supported in r24.2.1.

any chance it will be supported in near future?

Hi kimchaun,
Please share your usecase for linking nvcamerasrc → v4l2sink for our evaluation

we purchased a nvcamerasrc MIPI camera from leopardimaging and would like to make use of gst-rtsp-server to stream the video and at the same time split the input stream for opencv image processing. the quickest way we could figure it out is to sink it with v4l2sink to the v4l2loopback adapter we created and make the opencv to open the v4l2loopback adapter.

Hi kimchuan,
Please refer to the following thread for nvcamerasrc → opencv
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/987537/jetson-tx1/videocapture-fails-to-open-onboard-camera-l4t-24-2-1-opencv-3-1/post/5064902/#5064902[/url]

Hi DaneLLL,

Many thanks for your very helpful response.

We have no problem to write an OpenCV C/C++ application to open nvcamerasrc camera for image processing.

We also have no problem to write an gstreamer application to open nvcamerasrc camera for rtsp server streaming.

We would like to split the input stream used by gstreamer application for concurent opencv image processing at the same time. The quickest way we could figure it out is to sink it with v4l2sink to the v4l2loopback adapter we created and make the opencv to open the v4l2loopback adapter.

Linking nvcamerasrc → v4l2sink is the quickest hack we could figure it out.

Anyway, thanks again for your effort.

Hi kimchaun,
Please use attached libgstnvvidconv.so and give it a try. We have verified with

[Stream to v4l2sink]

[Get preview via guvcview]
export DISPLAY=:0

libgstnvvidconv.so.txt (75.5 KB)

Hi DaneLLL,

Thanks for your kindness. The provided libgstnvvidconv.so is able to sink to v4l2sink.

Hopefully the improved libgstnvvidconv.so will be merged into the official gstreamer.

Good job!
