How to create a pipeline that reads from an imx device to a loopback sink

I am on an imx devlopment board trying to run the following gstreamer pipeline after compling and load the v4l2loopback driver.


gst-launch-1.0 -v imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

I get the following error.

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstImxV4l2VideoSrc:imxv4l2videosrc0.GstPad:src: caps = video/x-raw, format=(string)UYVY, width=(int)720, height=(int)480, interlace-mode=(string)interleaved, framerate=(fraction)30/1, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...

the version of the image i am using does not have the newest version of the imx gstreamer plugins that contains the imxv4l2videosink plugin. I am wondering, is there a way to make it work with the older version? Or possibly can i just build the updated gstreamer imx plugins without changing the rest of my image? I am using the 'pyro' branch of the yoco repo to build the base image.

In the end, I am trying to make my program stream to a lookback device so i can server the resulting video stream using the rtsp server like this

gst-variable-rtsp-server  -m "/stream" -p9099 -u "v4l2src device=/dev/video10 ! imxvpuenc_h264 name=enc0 ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 mtu=800"

If there is some other method that allows me to have custom code (proprietary) server up an rtsp server that would work to, this just seems to be the way i have found that will work thus far.

Thank you.

I am new to bit bake, yocto, and gstreamer, so if you need some specific version information about what i am using please let me know HOW to get that information to you. thanks!

I have been looking through the documentation, I just haven't been able to find the right combination of settings to make this work. I have started making use of the setting the GST_DEBUG environment variable to get more information about what is going on but have yet to figure out why I get invalid pixel format.

This works:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

and then I can run

gst-variable-rtsp-server  -m "/stream" -p9099 -u "v4l2src device=/dev/video10 ! imxvpuenc_h264 name=enc0 ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 mtu=800"

and I can see the test video on my dev machine no problem.

 

Now, what I can’t do is this

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

 

I get this result:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...

Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...

New clock: GstSystemClock

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data stream error.

Additional debug info:

../../../../gstreamer-1.12.4/libs/gst/base/gstbasesrc.c(2939): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:

Execution ended after 0:00:00.001686666

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

Setting pipeline to READY ...

Setting pipeline to NULL ...

Freeing pipeline ...

 

So I tried this:

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw, width=720, height=482 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, width=720, height=480 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

 

and that does not work I get

0:00:00.707122000  2696  0x1daebc0 ERROR           GST_PIPELINE grammar.y:721:gst_parse_perform_link: could not link videoconvert0 to v4l2sink0, videoconvert0 can't handle caps video/x-raw, width=(int)720, height=(int)480

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link videoconvert0 to v4l2sink0, videoconvert0 can't handle caps video/x-raw, width=(int)720, height=(int)480

 

But I run:

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! imxipuvideotransform ! imxvpuenc_h264 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

I get :

But I can’t get the pipeline for that to play on the rtsp server side.
