Gstreamer hw-accelertor encoding does work under ubuntu 20.04 but not under ubuntu 22.04

Application Development

Hi,

I am using gstreamer under docker image.
following is my docker image packages:

FROM ubuntu:20.04
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get --no-install-recommends install -y  \
    build-essential \

    python3-gi \

When using ubuntu 20.04, the following cmd flow is working as expected:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc  ! 'video/x-raw,width=3840,height=2160,framerate=30000/1001' ! vaapipostproc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:VASurface),width=1920,height=1080' ! queue ! vaapih264enc ! splitmuxsink location=file%003d.mp4 max-size-time=500000000

Migrating to ubuntu 22.04:
FROM ubuntu:22.04

The gstreamer command does not work, not sure if it the ‘vaapih264enc’ or the ‘splitmuxsink’ that fails.

Is it known issue?
How can I check it?
Thanks

How does it “not work”?

Could you post the output?

3

run
gst-inspect-1.0 vaapipostproc
to see if vaapipostproc exists.

VAAPI is replacing VA-API
try to replace
vaapipostproc with vapostproc
and
vaapih264enc with vah264enc

Thanks tpm & Joe.
@tpm & @Joe “not work” means I do not see any mp4 files created. I was expecting to see
some mp4 files according splitmuxsink element config.

I will add some output prints
First output of the working command (UBUNTU 20)

Hi @Joe, Thanks for reply
As you can see in the Dokcer file I added, I installed (hopefully) all the necessary packages needed for the gpu use:

intel-gpu-tools \
intel-media-va-driver-non-free \
libva-drm2 \
libva-x11-2 \
vainfo

anyway as I noted, it works under ubuntu 20.04

I added the the prints of gst-inspect-1.0 vaapipostproc below the following issue:

You wrote to replace with vapostproc & vah264enc. I cant see them.
According the Dokcer file & Gstreamer site, version 1.0 is the one to use.
What should I do in order to install the ones you noted. Researching showed me they are version 1.20. But how can I set or what packages should I add to the Docker file in order to have them?
My current Docker file use this version:

libgstreamer1.0-0 \
libgstreamermm-1.0-dev \

OUTPUT of gst-inspect-1.0 vapostproc:

Do you have an Intel Video card?

Hi @Joe
my HW is CPU with GPU. actually my board have also nVidia chip in it.
I will add some hw info prints of my system:

also noting that I installed intel_gpu_top (intel tools)
and I see (at least in ubuntu OS 20.04) that GPU is working.

So, from HW perspective, I think I am Ok.

Check which driver is used in 20.04. For example, Intel may use i965 there(not sure). But in 22.04 iHD is the default one. And you may need to check if your hardware is too old.

Hi @Joe & @tpm and others.
Thank you both for your replies.

I found a solution that helped me and I would like to share it with whom it may useful to.
I just added another element h264parser after the encoding element vaapih264enc.

so instead of:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc  ! 'video/x-raw,width=3840,height=2160,framerate=30000/1001' ! vaapipostproc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:VASurface),width=1920,height=1080' ! queue ! vaapih264enc ! splitmuxsink location=file%003d.mp4 max-size-time=500000000

can use the:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc  ! video/x-raw,width=3840,height=2160,framerate=30000/1001 ! vaapipostproc ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! queue ! vaapih264enc ! h264parse ! splitmuxsink location=file%003d.mp4 max-size-time=20000000000

I don’t really know how it actually solved the problem, and I will be glad to hear from anyone who has any explanation how it works.

Hope it will be helpful.

Encoder vaapih264enc has specific format.

The primary role of a parser is to understand the structure and encoding of a raw multimedia stream, extract relevant information, and provide the necessary metadata for downstream elements.

Without parser, the downstream elements do not know what vaapih264enc is doing.
