problem with video encoder/Gstreamer on L138

Mastupristi,

Could you please attach the trace when running with CE_DEBUG=2 (not 5)?  Maybe something has
gone wrong earlier and the full trace log might give more insight.

Best regards,

    Janet

I attach the trace generated by the following command line:

# CE_DEBUG=2 gst-launch videotestsrc num-buffers=50 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)NV12,width=(int)720,height=(int)576,framerate=(fraction)25/1' ! queue max-size-buffers=50 max-size-bytes=622080 !  TIVidenc1 codecName=mpeg4enc engineName=codecServer iColorSpace=NV12 resolution=720x576 framerate=25 ! filesink location=movie.m4v -v 2>&1 | tee trace_ce_debug2.txt

I can not find anything else relevant in the trace.

best regards

How are you configuring Codec Engine in your Linux side app?  Do you have a remote.cfg file with lines like:

var Engine = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.Engine');
var myEngine = Engine.createFromServer(
    "video1_copy",        // Engine name (as referred to in the C app)
    // path to server exe, relative to its package dir
    serverName,
    "ti.sdo.ce.examples.servers.all_codecs" // server package
);

This is just an example and your server would be named differently.  Or are you creating the Engine in a .c file using macros?

The reason I'm asking, is that I see this in your trace:

@3,661,827us: [+2 T:0x41852490] CE - Engine_initFromServer> Sending RMS_GETALG command for alg [4]
@3,662,983us: [+5 T:0x41852490] CE - Engine_initFromServer> Warning: No stub functions were found for VIDDEC2_STUBS. The algorithm that requires these stub functions cannot be run remotely.
@3,663,707us: [+2 T:0x41852490] CE - Engine_initFromServer> Sending RMS_GETALG command for alg [5]
@3,664,857us: [+5 T:0x41852490] CE - Engine_initFromServer> Warning: No stub functions were found for VIDENC1_STUBS. The algorithm that requires these stub functions cannot be run remotely.

So it looks to me like Codec Engine is not configured properly.  You would need the VIDENC1_STUBS and VIDDEC2_STUBS in your Linux app
if you want to run VIDENC1 and VIDDEC2 algorithms remotely.

I have not configured anything.

I take use the cs.x674 distribuited in DVSDK.

I hope not to have to rebuild the file for use with gstreamer.

Hi Max,

I installed the dsk, and the config files look fine.  Looking at your trace more carefully, I see that the
VIDENC1_process() failed, and the extended error code is 0xc000.  Looking in xdais_6_26_01_03/packages/ti/xdais/dm/xdm.h,
the bits in this error code (10 and 11), indicate the following:

    XDM_INSUFFICIENTDATA = 10,   /**< Bit 10 - Insufficient input data.
                                  *
                                  *   @remarks  This error is typically
                                  *             applicable for
                                  *             decoders. This is set
                                  *             when the input data
                                  *             provided is not
                                  *             sufficient to produce

                                  *             This can be also be

                                  *             sufficient to process
                                  *             a frame.
                                  */
    XDM_CORRUPTEDDATA = 11,      /**< Bit 11 - Data problem/corruption.
                                  *
                                  *   @remarks  This error is typically
                                  *             applicable for
                                  *             decoders.  This is set
                                  *             when the bitstream has
                                  *             an error and not
                                  *             compliant to the
                                  *             standard syntax.
                                  */

Hopefully someone familiar with this mpeg4 encoder knows why you're getting this error.

It seems that starting from UYVY format it can works.

I start another thread on forum

I hope tha someone could help me
