streaming from imx6

[Thornton, Keith]

Hi, I’m having difficulties setting up a streaming pipeline on an imx6 running the mainline kernel and gstreamer 1.14.1.

The following pipelines work as required

 

This streaming pipeline withot dma buffers and using openh264 drops lots of frames

./test-launch "( v4l2src min-buffers=16 device=/dev/v4l/by-path/platform-capture-subsystem-video-index4 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=60000/1001,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt709 ! videorate drop-only=true skip-to-first=true !videoconvert ! video/x-raw,framerate=30/1 ! openh264enc  ! video/x-h264,profile=baseline ! queue ! h264parse ! rtph264pay name=pay0

pt=96 )"

 

This recording pipeline using dma buffers and v4l2h264enc storing to file also works

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src min-buffers=10 num-buffers=150 device=/dev/v4l/by-path/platform-capture-subsystem-video-index4 io-mode=dmabuf ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=60000/1001 ! v4l2h264enc output-io-mode=dmabuf-import extra-controls=cid,video_bitrate=12000000,video_gop_size=30 ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=ZNB_30fps_2.mp4

 

but streaming using v4l2h264enc and dma buffers doesn’t work

./test-launch "( v4l2src min-buffers=10 device=/dev/v4l/by-path/platform-capture-subsystem-video-index4 io-mode=4 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=60000/1001,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt709 ! v4l2h264enc output-io-mode=5 output-min-buffers=6 ! video/x-h264,profile=baseline ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 )"

 

The following log is produced

Maybe someone has an explanation as to what is wrong with the last pipeline. I can’t explain why it doesn’t work

It also makes no difference if I reduce the framerate using videorate.

Thanks for any replies

Hi

does anyone have a working rtsp/rtp pipeline from an imx6 which makes use of v4l2src and v4l2h264enc using dmabuffers which they would be prepared to share with me

I suggest to use gstreamer-imx. You can find it on github. Using mainline kernel Linux you could also do streaming with dmabuffers.

Hi Eloi,

 

would it be possible for you to share some working example pipeline/source code for the mainline kernel Linux variant of rtsp streaming?

 

Many thanks!

 

Best regards,

 

Marie
