Hi All,

I am working on Displaying/streaming 2 UVC CAM's simultaneously. Below Command

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=320, height=240 ! videobox border-alpha=0 left=-320 ! videomixer name=mix ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=320, height=240 ! videobox right=-320 ! mix.


Out of 2, /dev/video1 streams data but the second CAM /dev/video2 is ON after the command, but in my Display its pitch black.


Is this the correct way to stream multiple cams??

Kindly advice

If you are using i.MX6 you should try the mfw_isink element. This element will do the scaling and positioning in hardware and save you a lot of CPU power. You can run 2 separate gstreamer pipelines each playing in a different position on the screen. Please see this post for how to use it.

Hope that helps.

I have never worked with videomixer before.

I think this kind of question is better replied in gstreamer community. Did you subscribe to gstreamer mailing list?
