Unable to create aravissrc plug in

Hi,

I’m trying to record a video using a PoE camera on a Jetson Xavier AGX. To do this I’m trying to use Aravis and Deepstream(5.1 version). To do this a pipeline is created. I have a cloned repository in “/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-5.1/sources/apps/sample_apps/deepstream-yolo3-gige-apps/”. When I try to run the code I get the following error:

Could not create 'src_elem'
Failed to create source bin. Exiting.

I believe that this happens because deepstream is not being able to create the aravissrc plug-in when creating the pipeline.

I attach the code that creates the pipeline:

The error happens when the code reaches:

GstElement *src_elem = gst_element_factory_make ("aravissrc", "src_elem");
  if (!src_elem)
  {
    g_printerr ("Could not create 'src_elem'\n");
    return NULL;
  }

When I execute GStreamer with the following command it seems to work, a window appears and shows video.

gst-launch-1.0 aravissrc ! video/x-raw, width=960, height=720, framerate=10/1 ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink

With this, I don’t understand what is wrong with Aravis because it does work with the command above.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Did you execute your application on the same machine and same environment as the gst-launch-1.0 command ?

Try to enable GStreamer debugging using GST_DEBUG environment variable (GST_DEBUG=4 should start to give you interesting informations).

Hi, I have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this? @unaiGrabit
