I have the following pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'image/jpeg, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! jpegdec ! videoconvert ! fbdevsink sync=False
works as expected, it simply uses a USB capture card (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B087C3NG9W) to stream data from the source to the monitor. Only problem with this pipeline is that the captured footage is choppy. I believe this happens because this pipeline doesn't use the hardware accelrators on the RPI for jpeg decoding and instead use the CPU. So I believe this pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'image/jpeg, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! v4l2jpegdec ! videoconvert ! fbdevsink sync=False
The problem is:
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock

so I tried
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'image/jpeg, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! omxmjpegdec ! videoconvert ! fbdevsink sync=False
which resulted on not having gst-omx installed on the RPI. Tried installing it but it looks like its no longer supported.
Note I am using a RPI 4, 4GB and:
cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"

ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"
My questions are:
- Any suggestions on how to speed up such pipeline ?
- If the RPI 4 isn't the hardware to use, any suggestions for better alternatives ?
