gstreamer transcoding pipeline on ridgeRun SDK

Hello,

I will check this issue and I will let you know.

Hello,

I have checked it. Here is the pipeline which I have used:

gst-launch filesrc location=/home/root/sample.mov ! qtdemux name=d d.video_00 ! queue ! h264parse ! tee name=vtee vtee. ! queue ! omx_h264dec ! omx_scaler ! omx_ctrl display-mode=OMX_DC_MODE_1080P_60 ! omx_videosink  vtee. ! queue ! avimux name=mux d.audio_00 ! queue ! faad ! tee name=atee atee. ! al
sasink device="plughw:0,1" atee. ! queue ! faac  mux. ! filesink location=/home/root/re.avi

You could change it. This pipeline decode and display the video on the display, in the same time encode it  and save in file -  avi.

Here is the pipeline used for decode and display on the encoded video with the previous pipeline:

gst-launch filesrc location=re.avi ! avidemux  ! h264parse  !  omx_h264dec  ! omx_scaler ! omx_ctrl display-mode=OMX_DC_MODE_1080P_60 ! omx_videosink sync=true

You could remove the audio thread and change the container for your use case.

I also have tried :

gst-launch -v filesrc location=sample.mov ! qtdemux  ! 'video/x-h264' ! h264parse access-unit=true ! omx_h264dec ! omx_h264enc  ! filesink location=check.yuv

and

gst-launch filesrc location=check.yuv ! h264parse  !  omx_h264dec  ! omx_scaler ! omx_ctrl display-mode=OMX_DC_MODE_1080P_60 ! omx_videosink

The test was made on:

Hardware platform: dm8168 EVM

Software: EZSDK 5.05.02

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Margarita

Thank you for replying to my question. I got the pipeline working but am facing another problem. Please see this:

As you can see, the average fps that I'm getting is very low. I'm streaming to a client & the file playback, in real time, , is jerky. Why is arm load peaking out at 100%? What can I do to improve performance here?

I've noticed a similar post on this forum with the exact same problem.

Can you please provide a solution here? Thanks.

Hello,

Could you give a try with omx_scaler and noise filter elements not with omx_hdeiscaler?

Let me know the result.

Hello

I tried using omx_scaler & omx_noisefilter but that didn't work. Here's my pipeline:

rr_rtsp_server "( rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.15:5554/Test ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! video/x-h264, framerate=(fraction)30/1, stream-format=byte-stream, alignment=au ! omx_h264dec ! omx_scaler ! video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)YUY2,width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, framerate=(fraction)30/1 ! omx_noisefilter ! video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)NV12,width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1 ! gstperf ! omx_h264enc ! video/x-h264, width=(int)1920,height=(int)1080,stream-format=(string)byte-stream, alignment=(string)au ! rtph264pay name=pay0 )"

perf0: frames: 5 current: 0.46 average: 0.46 arm-load: 1

perf0: frames: 8 current: 0.28 average: 0.37 arm-load: 2

perf1: frames: 4 current: 0.37 average: 0.37 arm-load: 3

perf1: frames: 6 current: 0.19 average: 0.28 arm-load: 100

I'd like to stream the transcoded content in real time using DM8168. That is why it is important for me to be able to get at least 30 fps at the client.

Thanks!

Hello, Any update here? Do you see the same problem at your end?
