try with tune=zerolatency for x264enc
- Thread starter Tuna
- Start date
Hi,
I'm having the same issue, your url shows my cams in the source but the "freeze and catch ups" still appear. I use GStreamer as source and also as Video Encoder "GSTream Encoder H.264" with Encoder Type "NVIDIA (NVENC)" at 2500 bitrate 1280x720 25fps.
My upload speed is 35mbps so pretty fast.
Any suggestion?

Hello, sorry for the late reply... my setup works with very little problems so i am not very active anymore on this forum.
I am sure other people may be able to help better, but i give it a try. Please correct me where necessary..
1. is the problem in the decoding of the source in OBS or in the coding ? Try watching the stream within OBS to check on freeze and catch up, without the encoding enabled.
2. is the problem in the coding section ? Try to play a known mp4 file as source to have 'unsuspected' input.
3. is the pc too busy ? If workload of the PC gets too high, strange effects can occur
4. should not matter but are input and output framerates and resolutions matched correctly ?
5. doe the problem occur if you work with half the resolution or framerate ? If not, workload might be too high given the PC capabilities
6. try rtsp instead of rtspt , may be this helps.
7. try inserting a buffer function in the pipeline to see if this might help
I stated this before, streamer has some steep learning curve, and i am still learning ...

Great plug in, I was wondering, is there a way to use it to accelerate media source and stinger transition ? I am running on an NVIDIA Jetson and have successfully managed to get hardware encode going with the plug in but all medias are still decoded in software at the moment.

Not with existing plugins. You can use the source as a very simple media player though.

Thanks for the quick reply !
I like to believe this is not happening by design, stream opens on external window as still image.
Running stream from Raspberry pi with: gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 config-interval=1 ! udpsink host=192.168.0.100 port=5000
on obs I setup:
gst-launch-1.0 -v udpsrc port=5000 ! application/x-rtp, encoding-name=H264, payload=96 ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! autovideosink
which (obs side) now when mentioned I think might not be correct...
Please send help.

The 0.4.0 plugin is causing OBS to crash. I am using a string similar to
rtspsrc location=rtsp://Operator:Sh3k1nah_@192.168.4.94:554/Streaming/channels/101 latency=400 ! queue ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! d3d11h265dec ! video.
No problem running a similar string via gst-launch-1.0
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://Operator:Sh3k1nah_@192.168.4.94:554/Streaming/channels/101 latency=400 ! queue ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! d3d11h265dec ! autovideosink
Running on Windows 11.
Attaching the crash report.
OBS crashes a few seconds after loading if the selected scenes in Studio Mode has any of the GStreamer sources in them

Looks like a GStreamer runtime crash. Do what GStreamer version are you using? But most likely has to be reported upstream.
Hello, I'm pretty new on debugging gstreamer obs plugin. I have already set the third level on my environment variables, but I still dont know how to see the logs of the obs-gstreamer plugin. I dont know if I have to use an specific trace for this or if I have to do an additional step. does someone know how could I proceed?. Thanks in advance. (Im using Gstreamer 1.18.5 and OBS 27.1.1)

Hi, does the obs-gstreamer plugin support single source multiple sinks display? For example, if my gst-launch-1.0 command is
gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! tee name=t \
t. ! queue ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! \
videoconvert ! autovideosink \
t. ! queue ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240 ! \
videoconvert ! fpsdisplaysink video-sink=ximagesink sync=true text-overlay=false
How can I launch this GStreamer pipeline inside OBS?
inside OBS if I use
v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! tee name=t \
t. ! queue ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! \
videoconvert ! video. \
t. ! queue ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240 ! \
videoconvert ! video.
it doesn't work.
Thank you

Now OBS cannot detect the obs-gstreamer plugin. Already placed the 0.4.0 plugin in the correct directory. Updated to latest Windows 11. Reinstalled OBS. Attached current OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/FSmnrFrVfZmymBCi

Most likely no runtime found at $PATH.

Please help. Which runtime are you referring to?

The GStreamer runtime. Please read the README.

Uninstalled OBS and GStreamer, then clean install OBS 30.0.0 Full, gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.22.7.msi and obs-gstreamer.dll (0.4.0) in Windows 11 Asus laptop.
Path added for GStreamer = D:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw_x86_64\bin\
Ran successfully the GStreamer test pipeline in Windows cmd prompt
> gst-launch-1.0 -vvv videotestsrc ! autovideosink
OBS Studio runs but same error in the log
> Module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/obs-gstreamer.dll' not loaded
??? Should I be using older versions of gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64 or obs-gstreamer plugin for Windows 11?
( I have no problems with the OBS/GStreamer setup on my other laptop and Desktop using Windows 10 )
Log file attached - Note that several other dlls not recognised under Windows 11 by OBS Studio

I feel like the OBS process still does not know where to find the GStreamer runtime. I see no technical limitation due to different versions why it should not work. If it works on other machines but not on this one I'm afraid you need to figure out what it is. I do not use Windows these days.
