I also tried with v4l2loopback versions 0.12.6, 0.12.7 and gstreamer version 1.18.6. But same errors.

I would appreciate a prompt response.

Thank you.

could you try with current main (9ba7e29)?

i cannot fully reproduce the problem (having no hardware that natively speaks h264), however:

the following pipeline appears to work for me with v0.12.7 and current main:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc \
! x264enc \
! h264parse \
! "video/x-h264,width=640,height=480,pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=2:4:7:1" \
! v4l2sink device=/dev/video2

however, the following pipeline fails from me with v0.12.7 (note the "colorimetry=bt601")

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc \
! x264enc \
! h264parse \
! "video/x-h264,width=640,height=480,pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt601" \
! v4l2sink device=/dev/video2

however, the above pipeline appears to work with main

Hi @umlaeute,

Thank you for your response.

I tried with v4l2loopback v0.12.7 (9ba7e29) with following pipeline (/dev/video10 is the virtual camera).

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc \
! x264enc \
! h264parse \
! "video/x-h264,width=640,height=480,pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=2:4:7:1" \
! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10

I get the following error.

Is it possible that the outcome can be changed based on the Linux distribution or the kernel version?

Because i want to run this on Jetson Orin with Ubuntu 20.04 installed. It also get the same errors as my laptop.

  • Linux Distribution on Jetson: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
  • Kernel version on Jetson: 5.10.65-tegra

rather than the Linux kernel version i would imagine that the GStreamer version matters.

I'm using gstreamer_1.22.6-1 (on my Debian/sid machine).

Newer Linux distributions will have newer versions of the packaged software, which in turn will have bugs fixed (and new bugs)
