Hello, I am trying to get the video stream showing in QGroundControl and a 3rd party software like videolan at the same time. I have found how to stream to a different address on this forum so I now have my gstreamer options set like this: ! multiudpsink clients=192.168.2.1:5600,192.168.2.1:5601 …

Hi Alexis, Can you update if you are not already in the last version ? If you already are in the last version or have done any modification in the companion computer, please, try to reinstall the image.

Sorry for making you lose your time. It was just the companion software that as outdated… Thank you for everything.

Hi Alexis, I’m glad that you figured this out, please let me know if you need any further help.

Hi @patrickelectric , Can the same be done with 3 ports instead of 2? I need to have the video in OV-REC + a navigation software. If yes, what should be the 3rd port number? Thank you

Hi @patrickelectric ! I’m using this second port to send a video (vlc.sdp) to OBS Studio in parallel with QGC, but I got a terrible delay in this second video (~1sec).

Hi Vagner, This is a player configuration and not from our part, you need to change the buffer size in OBS to stream asap. This is done in VLC via the caching variable: [image]

Hi Patrick, Yes, that was the configuration in VLC that I changed, but I couldn’t find where to adjust the buffer size in OBS yet. Anyway, I am using it as a secondary screen just to capture the video with overlay data… But I will try to figure it out how to do that. Thank you!!!

Hi Vagner, Can you point how are you receiving the video in OBS ? This probably will help me or someone else that want to check this delay problem.

Hi Patrick, In OBS, I just add a “VLC Video Source”: [1] And open the .sdp file as a regular video file: [2] If you see the “Network caching” option, it’s already set to the minimum value (100ms), but it seems to have no effect to the delay.
