AW: Why is connecting vaapi decoder to v4l2sink stuttering?

If I use vaapipostproc in the chain with vaapisink it seems ok, so I think it does dmabuff, 

but when I use  io-mode=dmabuf-import with v4l2sink I get “Failed to allocated required memory” 

 

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/mnt/DATA/tearing.mp4 ! decodebin ! v4l2sink io-mode=dmabuf-import device=/dev/video10

When I connect a vaapi decoder to v4l2sink the result is not as expected, same happens if I use autovideosink, I know for this I have to use vaapisink and it is working as expected, but is there a solution for v4l2sink? Can someone explain me the reason, is there a solution?

 

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/tmp/video.mp4 ! decodebin ! vaapipostproc ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video10 

 

Its experimental, and I am not sure if vaapipostproc does produce dmabuf in this case, but you can enable dmabuf-import on v4l2sink with property io-mode=dmabuf-import . By default, the frames are cpu copied from VA allocated memory into V4L2 allocated memory.
