Issue Running Video Stream

[ekwilinski]

Hello,

I am having trouble connecting to the video stream of the typhoon h480. I ran the command in the readme to get a video feed, but when I try to connect to localhost:8554 in vncviewer, nothing happens.

Thank you,
Elliot

I experience the same problem. It seems that the stream should be available at rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/live but my QGroundControl fails to get any video.

@ekwilinski I can open video stream with (you need to install VLC):

vlc rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/live 

Still can't configure QGroundControl to receive this stream.

The problem might be that PX4 automatically sends the video stream parameters via mavlink but since there is an additional RTSP server this does not actually work as expected.

It's as if there should be a setting named "Auto MAVLink" in QGC and then a setting to manually set it.

Yeah right, px4-gazebo-headless does not change the VIDEO_STREAM_INFORMATION message, so QGC won't auto-detect it.

It's as if there should be a setting named "Auto MAVLink" in QGC and then a setting to manually set it.

Wasn't there a way to manually specify the video URL in QGC in the past? 🤔

I was able to enter the uri in @Sitin vlc start cmd directly into QGC:
