Basler pylon Gstreamer for python

[mgabell]

Hi,

I have seen the library InstantCameraAppSrc library from Imaginghub that can be used to utilize Gstreamer and Basler camera. It does not however consider python. Its all C code. Anyone here who knows about a libs that support pypylon/python and Gstreamer?

br,
Mgabell

It works this way:

+------------+        +--------------+     +-------------+
|            |        |              |     |             
|   PYPYLON  +------->+   appsrc     +----->     gst     
|            |        |              |     |     pipeline..
+------------+        +--------------+     +-------------+

Hi, Thanks for the response. That means that you will go to the CPU buffer and back into (whatever GPU buffer of sorts) which would decrease performance?

Hi,

Can you provide me a guide on how to do the installation of GStreamer in ubuntu 18.04.
I followed the steps stated in https://github.com/joshdoe/gst-plugins-vision.
However, when I try this command:
gst-launch-1.0 pylonsrc ! autovideoconvert ! autovideosink

I got the error:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "pylonsrc"

Do you have any ideas what caused this error?

[MagnusGabell]

Hi, I dont know exactly. Ensure you have pylon library installed. Also g-streamer, of course. Then for the code attached you also need pypylon. For windows I dont know how to install and get this to work, but in linux it should. not a direct answer to your question but I also struggle with the pipelines.

Try this "gst-inspect-1.0 | grep pylon" (without the quote signs ") to ensure you have the pylon plugins installed properly check also the follow thread on the matter. I had the same problem as you... : joshdoe/gst-plugins-vision#50

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and sharing.

I have installed the pylon 6.2 in my Ubuntu 18.04 PC.
How can I check whether my g-streamer is successfully installed in my PC?

[MagnusGabell]

If gst-launch works responds and gst-inspect you probably have it. More likely the pylon-plugin is not.

Thank you
Do you have any document on how to install g-streamer correctly in ubuntu 18.04 ?
Do you think this document is useful (https://gitlab.com/zingmars/gst-pylonsrc)?

Check that GST_PLUGIN_PATH for local install or for a systemwide install GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH is pointing to where you installed pylonsrc Christina-ko ***@***.***> schrieb am Fr., 17. Dez. 2021, 08:25:

Hi,

I will check it and try it again. Thank you for your help

I found that it was easy to follow the instruction to get gstreamer to work but to get pylon to work was tricky. I think the solution was in the thread I referred to.
