IP camera can't connect

QGC’s video pipeline can’t be modified without building a new version of QGC. If you’ve got gstreamer installed[1] on your (topside) computer then you can test different pipelines to see whether they do or don’t work, and if you find that getting the pipeline to work requires a cap or flag that QGC definitely isn’t using then that could help determine why QGC is failing to properly receive your stream.

Alternatively you might find there’s some other information / URL you need to use, which might get it working in both plain gstreamer and QGC (e.g. if Andres is correct about the address being potentially incomplete / needing a username or password)


  1. Instructions from this comment:

    • install gstreamer
      • read the prebuilt section of the obs-gstreamer README first - it provides some useful simpler install links
      • read the normal gstreamer install instructions for extra requirements like updating PATH environment variable)
