I am trying to install the official NVIDIA Codecs for GStreamer. I have the following setup:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Gstreamer 1.14.5
- NVIDIA QUADRO P2000
- NVIDIA-SMI 440.100 Driver Version: 440.100
- CUDA Version 10.2.89
- NVIDIA Video_Codec_SDK_9.0.20
I followed this installation guide http://lifestyletransfer.com/how-to-install-nvidia-gstreamer-plugins-nvenc-nvdec-on-ubuntu/
After the installation I can use nvdec in the following command without a problem:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=jumanji.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! nvdec ! glimagesink sync=false
Howerver, when trying to use the encoder nvh264enc with the following command:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=10000 ! nvh264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4
I get the following error:
Error: from Element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvH264Enc:nvh264enc0: The Supported library could not be initialized. gstvideoencoder.c(1627): gst_video_encoder_change_state (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvH264Enc:nvh264enc0: Failed to open encoder
I have tried to look for similar error reports without luck. Any lead on how to solve it would be deeply appreciated.
EDIT:
By executing the previous pipeline with the Debug level --gst-debug-level=5 I can read the following error message in the log:
nvenc gstnvenc.c:267:gst_nvenc_create_cuda_context: Initialising CUDA.. 0:00:00.523634157 7971 0x56375974c600 INFO nvenc gstnvenc.c:276:gst_nvenc_create_cuda_context: Initialised CUDA 0:00:00.523654036 7971 0x56375974c600 INFO nvenc gstnvenc.c:284:gst_nvenc_create_cuda_context: 1 CUDA device(s) detected 0:00:00.523702909 7971 0x56375974c600 INFO nvenc gstnvenc.c:290:gst_nvenc_create_cuda_context: GPU #0 supports NVENC: yes (Quadro P2000) (Compute SM 6.1) 0:00:00.646223264 7971 0x56375974c600 INFO nvenc gstnvenc.c:312:gst_nvenc_create_cuda_context: Created CUDA context 0x5637599d78f0 0:00:00.646239492 7971 0x56375974c600 ERROR nvenc gstnvbaseenc.c:437:gst_nv_base_enc_open: Failed to create NVENC encoder session, ret=15 0:00:00.646262028 7971 0x56375974c600 INFO nvenc gstnvenc.c:320:gst_nvenc_destroy_cuda_context: Destroying CUDA context 0x5637599d78f0 0:00:00.755491991 7971 0x56375974c600 WARN videoencoder gstvideoencoder.c:1627:gst_video_encoder_change_state: error: Failed to open encoder
