- Note we did test this briefly on the SDK 11.1 release, and the videocrop wasn't needed. Though I didn't dig into the driver to see what they might have fixed.

No problem; glad to hear things are working now on your end!

- Hi Jake,
Thank you for looking into all this, it has been extremely helpful!
I looked into how the app actually talks to X11 and found a potential way to keep the app alive while the xserver is stopped so I can utilize kmssink. Pre...

- Good morning Holden,
No worries and thanks! I have tried out your X11 image with the pipelines discussed above and things are similar on my end as well. I have tried various pipelines to see what one offers ideal performance and low u...

$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=bunny.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! v4l2h264dec ! videocrop left=2 ! kmssink
This is very similar to the prev...

- Hello Holden,
I have been looking into your issue with @jcormier, and we are able to get the video to playback at 30fps with around ~40% CPU utilization and no visible signs of frame loss or lag using the following pipeline:
$ gst-...
