Segmentation fault when loading libgstkvssink.so in ingester_app

[Prajwal-Koirala]

When attempting to send an RTSP stream using the vaictl command, a segmentation fault occurs while loading the libgstkvssink.so plugin file. This issue is accompanied by multiple GStreamer warnings, GLib-GObject critical errors, and GLib-GObject warnings. This prevents the successful sending of the RTSP stream.

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.

It looks like you have KVS video sink installed? Is it possible to remove that from the search path for now?

[Prajwal-Koirala]

Hey, That's a temporary solution; can you provide me with a permanent one? Perhaps make a modification to the code and relaunch the application.

[dchao34]

Sure - may I ask your affiliation? May be able to prioritize your ask.

Thank you in advance for your effort. Could you perhaps provide a rough timeline for when this problem could be resolved? If there is anything I can do to assist, I would be more than delighted to do so. The plan is to operate both of these video streams simultaneously on the same server while also using AWS Kinesis.

As of current, this is probably going to be a P1 effort. We will try to squeeze this into the next refresh, which is in roughly 1 month.

A month is a very long time; perhaps carry it out in the open via a community branch so that other devs can readily assist.

Coffee is always free at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Done?
