Installed gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-bad on ubuntu 20.04 via the apt repo. I also installed the Video_Codec SDK 11.0 from Nvidia.
The gst-ispect command shows me nvenc and nvdec is installed and I am able to use hardware acceleration when playing videos.
What I have found however is reference to the nvcodec at gstreamer nvcodec doc.
I don't have this plugin when I look in get-inspect.
Have also compile opencv with support for gstreamer.
Ultimately I want to be able to use gstreamer in python with opencv and get hardware accelerated decoding of my streams. What I can't seem to do is create a pipeline which converts the output of nvdec to play in appsink. The nvcodec plugin I mentioned earlier appears to have this capability.
So is there a way to install nvcodec on Ubuntu 20.04 or is there a way to create a pipeline that decodes using the nvdec plugin and feeds into the appsink so that I can consume that in opencv.
