Plugin does not work: bunch of gstreamer errors in console

[akontsevich]

Still gstreamer errors in console:

VideoReceiverLog: gst_element_factory_make() for data source failed
VideoReceiverLog: _makeSource() failed
VideoReceiverLog: Failed

In gstreamer log (GST_DEBUG=*:DEBUG,decodebin:LOG) seeing this error:

May be some plugin is still missed and need to add with --library= switch?

[TheAssassin]

It is also possible that the plugins can just not be found properly. Is this the complete GStreamer log? I think there should be more log messages before those.

It is huge, do You want to attach it completely? The only error in the log is this mentioned above:

0:00:04.257948762 180973 0x7f2c5c004380 ERROR        qgcvideosinkbin gstqgcvideosinkbin.c:122:_vsb_init:<GstQgcVideoSinkBin@0x7f2c08012260> gst_element_factory_make('glupload') failed

I also guess Your plugin did not deploy some gstreamer plugins to the bundle as they were not installed in docker, so now I've installed them and rebuilding currently with such packages installed in build image:

      - gstreamer1.0-gl
      - libgstreamer1.0-0
      - libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0
      - libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0
      - gstreamer1.0-x
      - gstreamer1.0-alsa
      - gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
      - gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
      - gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
      - gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
      - gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
      - gstreamer1.0-libav
      - libavcodec57
      - libavfilter6
      - libavformat57
      - libavutil55
      - libx264-152
      - libx265-146

The plugin just copies whatever is available on the system. At the moment, it cannot detect which plugins are really needed. Therefore, installing all plugins is a good idea.

PRs welcome that implement some detection.

I see.

So I installed all the plugins however have same error I got for appimage-builder:

I see this file is not packaged to the bundle or packaged only /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libx264.so.152. See libx264-152 package file list. I do not know if it causes the problem but video is not translated like in dev version. May be you need to preserve directory structure and package both files like in original package:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libx264.so.152
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.152

?

x265 plugin loads and works fine according to the logs.

Can you please rerun this on the x265 gstreamer plugin .so file that got deployed into your AppDir? libx265 seems to be linked directly. I suspect the library within the AppImage cannot be found by the deployed plugin, though.

Ok, but why do you need libx265 while problem is in libx264?

Ok, but why do you need libx265 while problem is in libx264?

My bad.

Would you mind to share your AppImage? In case it is open-source software, please provide a link to your repository and ideally to your build scripts.

[akontsevich]

It is a fork of QGroundControl, not open for now sorry. But I can give You build scripts of course: replace these lines master/deploy/create_linux_appimage.sh#L86-L93 with linuxdeploy script:

# now, build AppImage using linuxdeploy
# download linuxdeploy
wget https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-gstreamer/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-gstreamer.sh

# make them executable
chmod +x linuxdeploy*.AppImage
chmod +x linuxdeploy-plugin-gstreamer.sh

# copy all libs to the bundle
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QGC_RELEASE_DIR}/libs:${QGC_RELEASE_DIR}/Qt/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# run linuxdeploy and generate an AppDir
export APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1
./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir ./$APP.AppDir --verbosity=1 \
	--desktop-file=./$APP.AppDir/qgroundcontrol.desktop \
	--icon-file=./$APP.AppDir/${QGC_CUSTOM_APP_ICON_NAME} \
	--executable=./$APP.AppDir/${QGC_CUSTOM_APP_NAME} \
	--library=/usr/lib/libgdal.so.20 --library=/usr/lib/libacpi.so.0 --library=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libprocps.so.6 \
	--plugin gstreamer \
	--output appimage

cp ${TMPDIR}/*".AppImage" ${OUTPUT_DIR}/
rm -rf ${TMPDIR}

To run execute:

./deploy/create_linux_appimage.sh QGC_SRC_DIR QGC_RELEASE_DIR

where:

• QGC_SRC_DIR - QGroundControl source dir
• QGC_RELEASE_DIR - build dir + /staging

[akontsevich]

I also tried to add these switches to linuxdeploy:

	--library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libx264.so.152 --library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.152 \

However it did no helped: it deploys only 1 of it - libx264.so.152 - not sure from which dir and do not preserve dir structure which is the problem I think.

Copying files manually to the bundle did not help as well (appimage-builder also deploys both files correctly):

# copy missed libs to the bundle
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QGC_RELEASE_DIR}/libs:${QGC_RELEASE_DIR}/Qt/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$APP.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$APP.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit
mkdir -p $APP.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libx264.so.152 $APP.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.152 $APP.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/

Same error:

ERROR: x264enc gstx264enc.c:163:load_x264: Failed to load '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.152'

Strange libx264 package in Ubuntu 18.04 with 2 libx264.so.152 files, while 20.04 has only the one - libx264.so.155 and do not have such problems.

That second library in x264-10bit is a very special case I have not seen before. I need to have a look myself at how these libraries are related. I suppose we need to implement some custom deployment there. Libraries are identified by name, and one should be able to assume that two libraries of the same name are compatible. This does not seem to be the case here.

From the name, I would have assumed that the 10-bit library just implements some 10-bit codec, but is not necessarily required...

Yes, I thought the same. However solved for now by upgrading gstreamer to the latest stable version - 1.18.5 which has only 1 library file there in libx264-163.

From the name, I would have assumed that the 10-bit library just implements some 10-bit codec,

Guess the same.

but is not necessarily required...

I do not know, as You see GStreamer tried to load it in our app.

[akontsevich]

Video works for us now on some machines after gstreamer upgrade, on some not - they have another error:

I see that libmfx1 package is installed in our docker however only libmfx.so.1 library from it is deployed to AppImage bundle while it contains bunch of libraries:

Could You fix gstreamer plugin to deploy them as well please?
