[QUESTION] All my frames are getting dropped I think and data upload rate is very low (rtsp H265 at 1020*1080)

[msalmonw]

Im using a Dahua rtsp camera to stream to kvssink but I do not succeed. If im using h264 on the camera settings than I get "Bus Error". I switched to x265 at 1920x1080 but then again my frames are getting dropped and data upload is very very slow.

Please help!

[jdelapla]

if you replace kvssink with a test sink or a display sink of some kind does the pipeline function?

[msalmonw]

Yes it worked, I resolved the issue by compiling the with -DALIGNED_MEMORY_MODEL=TRUE.

Also now I have another problem, I can generate session tokens completely fine with my certificates, but I can not start the stream directly using the certificates. The command I use is:

gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554 short-header=TRUE ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! kvssink stream-name=$"STREAM_NAME" iot-certificate="iot-certificate,endpoint=https://ctdaryo6b4e5l.credentials.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com,cert-path=/certificate.pem,key-path=/private.pem.key,ca-path=/cacert.pem,role-aliases=gatewise-camera-role-alias"
And the output:

The error code you're seeing is 0x4000000e: STATUS_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_STAT_ERROR. This could be something related to directory access probably. Can you double check all your paths and permissions?
