For decoding online and local mp4 files, I am using this code snippet to create source bin in Deepstream Python code.(similar to deepstream_test_3 example) This is uridecodebin based source, and handles all decoding part. I need bitrate info of source video, so as I can set the same to encoder of my output video. Please help me on this.
def decodebin_child_added(child_proxy,Object,name,user_data):
print("Decodebin child added:", name, "\n")
if(name.find("decodebin") != -1):
Object.connect("child-added",decodebin_child_added,user_data)
if "source" in name:
source_element = child_proxy.get_by_name("source")
if source_element.find_property('drop-on-latency') != None:
Object.set_property("drop-on-latency", True)
def cb_newpad(decodebin, decoder_src_pad,data):
print("In cb_newpad\n")
caps=decoder_src_pad.get_current_caps()
if not caps:
caps = decoder_src_pad.query_caps()
gststruct=caps.get_structure(0)
gstname=gststruct.get_name()
source_bin=data
features=caps.get_features(0)
# Need to check if the pad created by the decodebin is for video and not
# audio.
print("gstname=",gstname)
if(gstname.find("video")!=-1):
# Link the decodebin pad only if decodebin has picked nvidia
# decoder plugin nvdec_*. We do this by checking if the pad caps contain
# NVMM memory features.
print("features=",features)
if features.contains("memory:NVMM"):
# Get the source bin ghost pad
bin_ghost_pad=source_bin.get_static_pad("src")
if not bin_ghost_pad.set_target(decoder_src_pad):
sys.stderr.write("Failed to link decoder src pad to source bin ghost pad\n")
else:
sys.stderr.write(" Error: Decodebin did not pick nvidia decoder plugin.\n")
def create_source_bin(index,uri):
print("Creating source bin")
# Create a source GstBin to abstract this bin's content from the rest of the
# pipeline
bin_name="source-bin-%02d" %index
print(bin_name)
nbin=Gst.Bin.new(bin_name)
if not nbin:
sys.stderr.write(" Unable to create source bin \n")
# Source element for reading from the uri.
# We will use decodebin and let it figure out the container format of the
# stream and the codec and plug the appropriate demux and decode plugins.
uri_decode_bin=Gst.ElementFactory.make("uridecodebin", "uri-decode-bin")
if not uri_decode_bin:
sys.stderr.write(" Unable to create uri decode bin \n")
# We set the input uri to the source element
uri_decode_bin.set_property("uri",uri)
# Connect to the "pad-added" signal of the decodebin which generates a
# callback once a new pad for raw data has beed created by the decodebin
uri_decode_bin.connect("pad-added",cb_newpad,nbin)
uri_decode_bin.connect("child-added",decodebin_child_added,nbin)
# We need to create a ghost pad for the source bin which will act as a proxy
# for the video decoder src pad. The ghost pad will not have a target right
# now. Once the decode bin creates the video decoder and generates the
# cb_newpad callback, we will set the ghost pad target to the video decoder
# src pad.
Gst.Bin.add(nbin,uri_decode_bin)
bin_pad=nbin.add_pad(Gst.GhostPad.new_no_target("src",Gst.PadDirection.SRC))
if not bin_pad:
sys.stderr.write(" Failed to add ghost pad in source bin \n")
return None
return nbin
print("Creating source_bin\n")
source_bin=create_source_bin(0, "<video_path_uri>")

I have not found direct method with deepstream, but we can get bitrate by other mean. I works for both URL and local file. This function solved my issue:
import subprocess
def get_video_bitrate(filename):
result = subprocess.Popen(
["ffprobe", "-v", "error", "-select_streams", "v:0", "-show_entries",
"stream=bit_rate", "-of", "default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1", filename],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT
)
output = result.communicate()[0]
bitrate = int(output.strip())
return bitrate
