rtspsrc and interlatency tracer

[nicolone]

@michaelgruner It seems that your fix https://github.com/RidgeRun/gst-shark/pull/93 solved the SegFaults, but it skips interlatency tracing for source pads with no parent.

For example, I don't get any interlatency tracing for the following simple pipeline with a public stream:

GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7" GST_TRACERS="interlatency" gst-launch-1.0 \
rtspsrc location=rtsp://demo:[email protected]:5541/onvif-media/media.amp?profile=profile_1_h264&sessiontimeout=60&streamtype=unicast protocols=tcp \
! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! fakesink

Instead I get the following warning many times printed on the screen:

** (gst-launch-1.0:22154): CRITICAL **: 12:35:02.973: calculate_latency: assertion 'parent' failed

Is there a way to make the interlatency tracing work with the rtspsrc element? Maybe adding a parent to the rtspsrc element?

BTW: other tracers like framerate and proctime have a similar issue with SEGFAULTs like interlatency had before:

gst_shark_tracer_hook_pad_push_pre (object=0x555555923570, ts=1466896730, pad=0x7fffe805a7c0, buffer=0x555555a2d6c0) at gstsharktracer.c:411

I forgot to mention that I use the master of gstreamer (version 1.19.1.1) and master of gst-shark.

The following patch seems to fix it:

Thanks for sharing, checking now.

Any updates?

Hello, So I tried your patched but the same error remains :

** (gst-launch-1.0:4695): CRITICAL **: 09:29:59.956: calculate_latency: assertion 'parent' failed and this is the command line I used :

GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7" GST_TRACERS="interlatency" gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Stream1 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink sync=true

I'm trying to get the latency of gstreamer to decode et play a live rtsp stream from my ip camera

Have you any suggestion ?

Thank you for your help

[nicolone]

You might want to add the environment variables: GST_SHARK_LOCATION="gstshark_tracer_directory" GST_SHARK_FILE_BUFFERING=0

Otherwise you might want to look for other errors with GST_DEBUG="6,GST_TRACER:7". Good luck and please post your fixes here again ;-)
