Re: Internal Data Stream Error Occurs When Adding Two Caps Filters with Different Resolutions in Webcam GStreamer Pipeline Using Tee

Hello Sulthan,

I'm pretty certain this won't be possible without videoscale & friends.

Reason: almost all V4L2 cameras are configured to stream a single resolution at 
the hardware level, and even if the camera would be capable of delivering two 
streams at different resolutions, I'm nearly 100% sure the V4L2-Gstreamer path 
won't be able to deliver that. Your only option, as far as I can tell, is to get 
the larger resolution from the device directly and scale it down.

(*) Should you happen to use a Raspberry Pi camera, which can do separate 
preview and main streams, then you might have a shot by using the libcamera 
stack. But for generic V4L2 devices, I don't think you can avoid the software 
scaler.

Best, Florian
