Hello, I am new to gstreamer and struggling with it a bit. I collect video frames in RGB format. I then try to stream it in NV12 format by using a videoconverter pad below.

I have the following pipeline -

           snprintf( str_pipeline, sizeof( str_pipeline ), "appsrc name=mysource ! videoconvert ! " "video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,format=NV12,framerate=60/1 ! vaapih264enc ! h264parse ! rtph264pay ! " "udpsink host=%s port=5600", "xx.xx.xx.xx");

When I attempt to stream video using it, it results in a segfault in libgstvideo. Here is the segfault

    Jun 20 21:55:19 intel-aero kernel: [ 1775.776487] mysource:src[5300]: segfault at 7eff89d65010 ip 00007eff89a5be63 sp 00007eff4c885428 error 4 in libgstvideo-1.0.so.0.803.0[7eff89a47000+7c000]

And here is the stack -

   Thread 79 "mysource:src" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Is there any GST_DEBUG I can get that may help you guys to figure the issue ?

To avoid converting video, I tried to stream in the RGB format just as the video was gotten in.

            snprintf( str_pipeline, sizeof( str_pipeline ), "appsrc name=mysource ! " "video/x-raw,width=640,height=480,format=RGB,framerate=60/1 ! vaapipostproc ! " "udpsink host=%s port=5600", "xx.xx.xx.xx");

This showed me errors in the GST_DEBUG_FILE saying the pads were not compatible sometimes. So no video appeared.

Can someone please help me here with what the correct pipeline should be if I want to collect video in RGB format and also display it in RGB format ? Also what should the app_caps be. Here is mine at the moment -

             app_caps = gst_caps_new_simple( "video/x-raw", "format", G_TYPE_STRING, "RGB", "width", G_TYPE_INT, 640, "height", G_TYPE_INT, 480, "framerate", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 60, 1, NULL );

What kind of GST_DEBUG should I set so it would be useful to debug the error with libgstvideo (for NV12 format) as well as for the RGB format streaming ?

Thanks Rohan
