Starting pipeline after booting

[BrilliantovKiri]

Hello!

I write programm for capture, encode and streaming video with GStreamer 0.10.28 and gst-fsl-plugin-2.0.3 from LTIB.

Now I need start it after boot system. Programm started, but stoped work with next error -  Failed build encoder element!

Follow my code for building encoder element:

enc = gst_element_factory_make("mfw_vpuencoder", "encoder");

if (NULL == enc) {

    ERROR("Failed build encoder element!");

    return FALSE;

}

Because programm start and work if I start it manually I think problem in enviroment. I try set enviroment GST_REGISTRY on /root/.gstreamer-0.10, LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /usr/lib and GST_PLUGIN_PATH in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10, but this is not solve problem.

~ # ls -al /root/.gstreamer-0.10/

-rw-------

1 root

~ # ls /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

libgstaacparse.so

libgstmultipart.so

.........................
~ # ls -F /usr/lib

gstreamer-0.10/

libIpuScreenLayer.so.0

lib_H264_dec_arm11_elinux.so

......................

libvpu.so@

libvpu.so.0

How should I modify my programm for solve this problem?

Thank you and excuse my bad english.

Problem solved!

Daemon must not drop root privilegies before starting pipeline.

Hi Kirill,

I have the same problem. I'm running the application from rc.d/init.d/scrip.sh :

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/app&

I'm not changing the root user or privileges and still see the problem.

Can you please post the script you are using to start your application as an example?

Thanks

[BrilliantovKiri]

Hello, Tarek!

I use follow command:

start-stop-daemon --quiet --pidfile $PID --background -S --exec $DAEMON

I think strace or additional debug otput from your application help you localize problem code.
