Gstreamer fails to run in Apalis iMX8 using Docker container method

Hi,

we are trying to run gstreamer in Apalis iMX8 machine using container method using the instructions given in the following link,

The Apalis iMX8 machine was flashed with torizon core docker yocto image using the toradex easy installer. The image was build using the instructions given in the following link,(Zeus branch)

Build TorizonCore from Source With Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded | Toradex Developer Center

But when following that procedure, we face the following issue,

**torizon@apalis-imx8-06506349:~$ sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.arm64.yaml up
Starting torizon_weston_1 ... done
torizon_wayland_1 is up-to-date

We are using Ubuntu18.04 system for docker build. Kindly help us to run gstreamer commands successfully in the Apalis iMX8 machine using docker method.

Hi @Dharanitharan!

I have recently tried the Gstreamer demos from our documentation on Torizon and they should be working fine.

Instead of your own image build, can you try that on the default TorizonCore image that’s available on our Toradex Easy Installer feeds?

Also, on a side note, you don’t necessarily need to use sudo to run docker or docker-compose on Torizon since the torizon user already has the proper permissions to do so.
