Hello, I’m new to Bluerov. I want to stop videostream and grad image on my own. So how to stop gstreamer and process image with pymavlink? I just want to have a timestamp for every image.  
All help will be appreciated thanks.

Hi,

You should use the gstreamer pipeline to create a second udp output for your python application and to the timestamp there, you can do that following our instructions here:
