Video artifacts on a receiver side after re-creating of its pipeline

Denis Shienkov
Hi all.

I use two own applications: producer & consumer.

A producer generates the video stream and sends to the UDP sink.
A consumer receives this stream and displays a video content.

When the consumer started before the producer, then I did not get any
video artifacts on an consumer.

But, when I try to do stop/start the consumer (when the producer already
running), then I see many video artifacts on the consumer.

A possible workaround it is try to restart the producer (in this case the
consumer receives good video content).

How to solve this issue?

UPD:

A producer uses the following pipeline's equivalent:

[code]
void Producer::start()
{
     ...
     ...

     m_appsrc = ::gst_element_factory_make("appsrc", nullptr);

     ::g_object_set(G_OBJECT(m_appsrc),
                    "stream-type", GST_APP_STREAM_TYPE_STREAM,
                    "is-live", true,
                    "format", GST_FORMAT_TIME,
                    nullptr);

     const auto videoconvert =
::gst_element_factory_make("videoconvert", nullptr);

     const auto videoenc = ::gst_element_factory_make("x264enc", nullptr);

     ::gst_util_set_object_arg(G_OBJECT(videoenc), "tune", "zerolatency");

     ::g_object_set(G_OBJECT(videoenc),
                    "key-int-max", 10,
                    nullptr);

     const auto parse = ::gst_element_factory_make("h264parse", nullptr);

     ::g_object_set(G_OBJECT(parse),
                    "config-interval", -1,
                    nullptr);

     const auto payloader = ::gst_element_factory_make("rtph264pay",
nullptr);

     const auto udpsink = ::gst_element_factory_make("udpsink", nullptr);

     const auto host = destination.host().toLocal8Bit();
     const auto port = destination.port();

     ::g_object_set(G_OBJECT(udpsink),
                    "host", host.constData(),
                    "port", port,
                    nullptr);

     m_pipeline = ::gst_pipeline_new("pipeline");

     ...
     ...

     if (!m_appsrc || !videoconvert || !videoenc
             || !payloader || !udpsink) {
         qCCritical(gstProducerControl) << "Unable to create one of
pipeline element";
     }

     ::gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN(m_pipeline),
                        m_appsrc,
                        videoconvert,
                        videoenc,
                        parse,
                        payloader,

     ::gst_object_unref(m_pipeline);

     m_appsrc = nullptr;
     m_pipeline = nullptr;
     ...
}
[/code]

A consumer uses the following pipeline's equivalent:

[code]

Do the artefacts disappear after a few seconds (when the producer
generates a new keyframe)?

If yes, then all you need to do is force the encoder on the producer
side to generate a new keyframe whenever you add a client. You can do
that with gst_video_event_new_upstream_force_key_unit() for example.

AW: Video artifacts on a receiver side after re-creating of its pipeline

Thornton, Keith
In reply to this post by Denis Shienkov
Hi, the consumer needs an SPS and PPS. This could be transmitted by setting the config-interval parameter of rtph264pay.

Hi Tim,

No, an artifacts stays forewer, until I do not restart the producer. :(

Hi,

I already tried this:

const auto payloader = ::gst_element_factory_make("rtph264pay", nullptr);

::g_object_set(G_OBJECT(payloader),

                   "config-interval", 1,
                   nullptr);

with different values, as "-1", "1" and so on, but it does not help.

Re: AW: Video artifacts on a receiver side after re-creating of its pipeline

Seemslike some SPS/PPS issue. Can you try making producer send a multicast
stream and have multiple consumers
1. Your application
2. VLC
3.gst-launch playbin uri=<>

and see if the issue exists with all these clients or consumers?
