Hello everyone, I’m trying to figure out why I can’t seem to record the standard UDP video stream in QGC5. This is a custom-built rover, and the video does appear in QGC, but once it connects, the camera control widget disappears. Is there something in MAVLink causing it to lose control? I’m having lots of trouble trying to get any leads or ideas out of either group’s Discord. Figured I would ask here about it.
Hi @BillyA -
Blue Robotics stopped supporting QGC beyond version 4.2.8 - sorry for the news. If you think it may be mavlink related, you could try disabling mavlink for the camera stream your working with - simply edit it and check the box on the Video Streams page.
You may have better luck with the GCS solution we are focused on - Cockpit! It’s still a bit rough around the edges for Rover (vs. Sub) but should be quite usable. I’d recommend the latest beta, which addresses a bug with the map widget leading to UI frame rate slow-downs…
Hi!
An old post that you might try:
Unchecking MAVLink after enabling pirate mode resolved the issue. QGC must be doing some auto-configuration and making assumptions about the video stream. Thank you! You saved me a ton of work trying to debug this issue. BlueOS makes a very convenient platform for students to configure the platform. QGC is just a means to an end since we are mostly running on OSX. I’m very interested in Cockpit, but setting up the controls for a land-based unit is a bit confusing for me right now. This is mostly due to a lack of time to get it up and running, but I do plan on revisiting it. I do plan to use it eventually, but not on this project.
