gstreamer gst_parse_element_make: no element "video"
-
From the command line, the following pipeline works:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw,width=720,height=576,framerate=25/1 ! autovideosinkBut with QML Video or MediaPlayer:
player.source = "gstreamer-pipeline: v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw,width=720,height=576,framerate=25/1"gives
0:00:00.402697115 12711 0xaaaaf9d9ac30 ERROR GST_PIPELINE grammar.y:630:gst_parse_element_make: no element "video" -
Therefore am trying the following pipeline, to see if similar could then be used from Qt instead:
gst-launch-1.0 -vvv v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! rawvideoparse width=720 height=576 format=yuy2 ! autovideosink
However that fails with

There is a capsfilter element that can be used explicitly with Qt/QML MediaPlayer:
player.source = "gstreamer-pipeline: v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! capsfilter caps=video/x-raw,width=720,height=480,framerate=25/1"
That works sometimes, but segfaults other times:

@petero3 I guess you are using Qt5 and this feature of running pipelines within multimedia module is not supported any more in Qt6. Therefore, it may be a good idea to use raw gstreamer code directly and you have much better controls over your pipelines.
