How to set gainrange and expsosuretimerange when creating source pipe (solved)

[tbanetwork]

First of all thank you for this awesome project. It has made my life way easier!

At the moment, I'm successfully running an interpipe source. Unfortunately i need a fixed gain and exposure time and im struggling with setting it up.

My source is set up with the following (working) command:

./gstd/bin/gstd-client pipeline_create cam_src_pipe nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 sensor_mode=0 awblock=true aeloc=true
! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=3840,height=2160,framerate=25/1'
! nvvidconv flip-method=3
! nvjpegenc quality=95
! interpipesink name=cam_src

As soon as i try to add

exposuretimerange="34000 358733000" gainrange="1 16"

which results in

./gstd/bin/gstd-client pipeline_create cam_src_pipe nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 sensor_mode=0 awblock=true aeloc=true exposuretimerange="34000 358733000" gainrange="1 16"
! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=3840,height=2160,framerate=25/1'
! nvvidconv flip-method=3
! nvjpegenc quality=95
! interpipesink name=cam_src

gstd fails with the following error:

GST_ARGUS: NvArgusCameraSrc: Setting Exposure Time Range : 34000
GST_ARGUS: Need two values to set range

I do think its a problem of passing the arguments correctly to nvarguscamerasrc, but i do not know how to do it properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

As always, after fiddling around for quite a while and asking the question on github i found it out by myself.

So if anyone got the same problem, here is what to do:

./gstd/bin/gstd-client pipeline_create cam_src_pipe nvarguscamerasrc 'sensor-id=0 sensor_mode=0 awblock=true aeloc=true exposuretimerange="34000 358733000" gainrange="1 16"'
! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=3840,height=2160,framerate=25/1'
! nvvidconv flip-method=3
! nvjpegenc quality=95
! interpipesink name=cam_src

The trick was to put all nvarguscamerasrc arguments in ''

Best regards
Timo
