Anyone using mfw_h264decoder on i.MX53?

Hi,

     I tested the mfw_h264decoder for the first time and I have run into some issues. Please find below the (second) pipeline that is being tested. When I run that pipeline it waits for the input with the line  “New clock: GstSystemClock..”

When I start an h264 stream on the other end using another imx53 device(pipeline below):

1)  gst-launch mfw_v4lsrc device=/dev/video0 ! mfw_vpuencoder ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=192.168.0.179 port=9020 sync=false

The pipeline being tested crashes

2) root@imx53qsb:~# gst-launch -v udpsrc port=9020 ! "application/x-rtp, payload=96" ! rtph264depay ! mfw_h264decoder ! "video/x-raw-yuv, height=640, width=480, framerate=25/1" ! mfw_v4lsink sync=false

Caught SIGSEGV accessing address 0x2b785228

  1. Spinning.  Please run 'gdb gst-launch 1669' to continue debugging, Ctrl-C to quit, or Ctrl-\ to dump core.

My observation is that the decoder sets the height and width to 0, even though I set its caps to certain values.

Please advice

mfw_h264decoder is a software decoder. mx53 has a hardware decoder (VPU) and you should use mfw_vpudecoder instead.
