dear ones
Nice to meet you, my name is KATA_KAN.
I'm trying to test Gstreamer on my imx8m mini board, but it's not working.
I would like to display a 1280x952 test screen on the upper right of a 1920x1080 monitor as shown in attached image 1, but the test screen is slightly shifted downward as shown in attached image 2.
Image1
Image2
The pipeline used is as follows.
gst-launch-1.0 imxcompositor_g2d name=comp sink_0::width=1280 sink_0::height=952 sink_0::xpos=640 sink_0::ypos=0 ! waylandsink videotestsrc ! comp.sink_0
I would like some advice on how to improve this situation.
I didn't know how to set the color_key, so I'm considering changing the policy to see if it can be handled on the pipeline side.
It looked like it could be done using a pipeline called alpha, so I tried it, but it didn't go as expected.
A transparent image (R,G,B=0,0,0) called invisible.png is displayed at 1920x1080, and videotestsrc at 1280x952 is displayed from (x,y)=(640,0) on it, and (R, G,B=0,0,0) is set as a transparent color.
gst-launch-1.0 imxcompositor_g2d name=comp \
sink_0::xpos=0 sink_0::ypos=0 sink_0::width=1920 sink_0::height=1080 \
sink_1::xpos=640 sink_1::ypos=0 sink_1::width=1280 sink_1::height=952 ! \
video/x-raw,format=RGB16 ! waylandsink window-width=1920 window-height=1080 \
filesrc location=invisible.png ! pngdec ! alpha method=custom target-r=0 target-b=0 target-g=0 ! imagefreeze ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=10/1 ! comp.sink_0 \
videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=952 ! comp.sink_1
As shown in the attached image, I was hoping that the default image displayed by weston would be transparent and displayed, but it is not transparent and a black screen is displayed.
Is there anything we can do from here?
pls create a new case for this issue, thanks
what shift do you mean? do you mean that your picture position isn't (640,0), like (640,20)?
Hi, joanxie.
That's right.
I want it to display at (640,0), but it actually displays as (640,20).
it seems that waylandsink coudn't support this, you would get random postion
maybe you can try the ivi-shell, refer to the user guide:
IVI-shell
In-vehicle infotainment shell is a special purpose shell that exposes a GENIVI Layer Manager compatible API to controller modules, and a very simple shell protocol towards clients. IVI-shell starts with loading ivi-shell.so, and then a controller module which may launch helper clients. This shell provides option of setting windowing position, which need to be programmed from the client application.
Thank you for the information.
I tried using the following weston.ini to start weston with IVI-shell based on the information I received, but the screen blacked out and I could not start it.
There seems to be some problem with the hardware and kernel you are using, so I will proceed with the investigation once. thank you.
Since then, we have been working, and weston's IVI-shell could not be enabled, but with the Desktop-shell state, we were able to achieve the expected behavior with the following pipeline.
gst-launch-1.0 imxcompositor_g2d name=comp \
sink_0::xpos=0 sink_0::ypos=0 sink_0::width=1920 sink_0::height=1080 \
sink_1::xpos=640 sink_1::ypos=0 sink_1::width=1280 sink_1::height=952 ! \
video/x-raw,format=RGB16 ! waylandsink window-width=1920 window-height=1080 \
filesrc location=gray.jpg ! decodebin ! imagefreeze ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=10/1 ! comp.sink_0 \
videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=952 ! comp.sink_1
(gray.jpg is a 1920x1080 solid gray image.)
If you can make gray.jpg transparent from here, you can achieve the behavior I expected.
In i.mx6, I think that the transparent color of the monitor could be set by setting color_key in a setting file such as imx_6q_display_config, but how should I do the same setting in i.mx8? Huh?
I checked the attached patch file, but it was already applied to our development environment.
Do you know how to set color_key from here?
