Get video in Videolan

Thank you for this. It works for VLC but the latency is horrible. Almost 2 seconds VS QGC on the same screen.

Check the VLC buffer to solve this problem:

• Tools → Preferences → Show Settings → All → Input Codecs → Advanced → Network Caching (ms)
  • Change the value to 200.

Save the settings and restart the program.

Also I have no way to pass this script on our in-house application.

I need to pass a URL EX:
udp://192.168.2.1:2000/Video01

Could we do this using RTSP?

Can you say what are you using in your in-house code, like libvlc, opencv, qmultimedia, … ?
You can modify the gstreamer settings in /camera to use RTSP.

@etienne

For instance, if I want to connect to my IP camera I write:
rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.2.88/av0_0

(It doesn’t work in QGC though.)

QGC have some hardcoded elements, check here if you need to modify or understand what QGC expects to receive.

We have a new version of companion, that is in Work in Progress, where you can use something like http://192.168.2.2:2770/vlc.sdp to access the stream.

A VLC example:

• Media → Open Network Stream → http://192.168.2.2:2770/vlc.sdp → play

Can this help you?
