i.MX6Q poor quality MJPEG decoding

[timothybean]

Hello,

I am decoding video from an IP camera. H.264 video looks good, but, for some reason when I pull the MJPEG stream the quality is very bad. When I view the MJPEG stream on the computer in VLC and such, the video looks great. I have tried with jpegdec and vpudec. Both provide the same poor quality on the screen.

Thanks

Tim

Please post the pipeline you are using.

Sorry for the late reply

gst-launch rtspsrc=rtsp://IP/mjpg latency=300 ! rtpjpegdepay ! vpudec low-latency=true ! mfw_v4lsink sync=true device/dev/video17

I have also tried:

gst-launch rtspsrc=rtsp://IP/mjpg latency=300 ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! mfw_v4lsink sync=true device/dev/video17\

and get the exact same results.

Below is an image of my screen. You can see there IS video but it is very badly pixelated.

Thanks

Tim

Not sure if it works, but try this pipeline:

gst-launch playbin2 uri=rtsp://IP/mjpg

Some questions:

what is the resolution for the stream data?

what is the resolution on the vpudec's sink caps (add -v to your pipeline to check this)?

what are the values you are providing to VLC when the playback is done on your PC?

Could you try streaming other codec data (like h264)?

Take a look at this page, GStreamer Streaming it uses other elements (gstrtpbin) but you may use it in your project.

playbin2 pipeline is same results

video is 720x480

Yes, H.264 works, but only if I set the disp-height to 8 minus the resolution

here is with -v option:

I found the issue was in the rtpjpegdepay element. Update is here if anyone else needs it:
