"Internal data stream error." when using omxh264enc in gstreamer

I am currently trying to convert a live feed from a Raspberry Pi camera to H264 and store it as a mp4 video using gstreamer. Since I am using a Raspberry Pi 1, I need to use the hardware accelerated video encoding as otherwise the encoder cannot keep up.

I tried the following pipeline, which I feed manually with RGB image data:

appsrc name=src format=time is-live=true caps=video/x-raw,format=(string)RGB,width=640,height=480,bpp=24,depth=24,framerate=20/1 ! autovideoconvert ! queue ! omxh264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location=output.mp4

However, it fails with the following output:

0:00:01.193743067  2469  0x1f5b320 WARN             autoconvert gstautoconvert.c:1048:gst_auto_convert_sink_query:<autoconvertchild> Got query allocation while no element was selected, letting through

Curiously, if I replace omxh264enc with the non-accelerated version x264enc, it works (although it falls behind after a couple of frames).

I assume that the warnings right before Internal data stream error might give some indication to what is actually going wrong, but I cannot make much sense out of them.

The full code can be found here: https://pastebin.com/pgr940yu, as well as the full debug output of that code here: https://pastebin.com/CLwAfxMG.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best, Homan

It shows that now caps found which can be the problem with the format you have given in appsrc, try RGB24 or check out with a different color format and if you use OpenCV, it can also be BGR.
