HailoNet Error: gst_pad_push failed with status = -4

Hello, hailo moderators

I’d like to stream two USB cameras. But, I can’t even though I tried many things.
There is no issue when I run each one, “/dev/video0” or “/dev/video2”

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,framerate=5/1 ! queue ! videoscale ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=RGB,width=640,height=640 ! queue ! hailonet hef-path=/home/test_camera/Benchmarking-YOLOv8-on-Raspberry-PI-reComputer-r1000-and-AIkit-Hailo-8L-main/hailomodel/eeg_employee_2.hef batch-size=1 ! hailofilter function-name="filter" so-path=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/hailo/tappas/post_processes/libyolo_hailortpp_post.so config-path=./resource/eeg_employee_2.json qos=false ! queue ! hailooverlay ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

I tried to stream 2 USB cameras, but there was an error like the below

Give me some guidance to resolve this.

Hi @ssms1225,

I see you’re encountering the gst_pad_push failed with status = -4 error. This typically happens when your GStreamer pipeline is struggling with data handling, usually due to buffer overflows or synchronization issues.

Here’s how you can resolve this:

  1. First, try adjusting your queue buffers:
queue max-size-buffers=20 max-size-bytes=0 max-size-time=0
  1. If that doesn’t help, lower your camera settings:
video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,framerate=5/1
  1. Enable threading support:
queue ! videoscale n-threads=2 ! videoconvert n-threads=3
  1. Try disabling sync if you don’t need precise timing:
autovideosink sync=false

You can test both cameras with this simplified pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 compositor name=comp sink_0::xpos=0 sink_1::xpos=640 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink sync=false \
v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,framerate=5/1 ! queue ! comp.sink_0 \
v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,framerate=5/1 ! queue ! comp.sink_1

Try these adjustments and let me know if you’re still having issues!
