gstEncoder::Render returns true in case of "pipeline full, skipping frame". Should it return false instead?

Hi! I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior. My initial expectation was to receive false in case of "full pipeline" to be able to give it another try.

https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-utils/blob/56d57f6713a5afe9029ab768ec5d13c285a52dfb/codec/gstEncoder.cpp#L435-L440

Here is what VideoOutput interface says:

https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-utils/blob/56d57f6713a5afe9029ab768ec5d13c285a52dfb/video/videoOutput.h#L166-L168

It is not clear if this is an error or warning situation. If it is still a warning, then an additional method shall be added to check if VideoOutput is ready to receive the next frame. Otherwise, I'd return false in this case.

Best regards, Alex

Hi, can you solve this problem? I encountered this error in x86 with input=video and output=rtp.

Hi, @JackeyGuo. I've just changed true to false in the place I mentioned in my initial post. This solved the issue and I can retry pushing to the pipeline later if it is already full.

@slovak194 This is not your initial post? can you elaborate on which parameter's TRUE is changed to FALSE.
