      @tom That was it, thank you. I have just one suggestion: please include in the voxl-ffmpeg instructions to run ./install_on_voxl.sh at the end to deploy the ipk

        ffmpegs is working but I am still unable to stream to QGC. I'm using the same ip of QGC that is in voxl-vision-px4.conf that allows the drone to even connect to QGC in the first place. Here are all my settings.

          @Daniel-Ryu Are you able to see the video in another viewer, like VLC?

              Also, could https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-m500-gimbal-user-guide/#streaming-to-qgroundcontrol this guide have a link to this guide here https://docs.modalai.com/uvc-streaming? I came across the second one quite by accident, despite them accomplishing similar purposes

                One more question: there's a config file referred to in this guide which is supposed to demonstrate how the gimbal can be controlled from the RC. Which one is it? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-m500-gimbal-user-guide/#streaming-to-qgroundcontrol

                  Here's a video that can help: https://youtu.be/eYr8nyFid0E?t=26

                    My DX8 looks and behaves differently from the one in the video. Is there a way to confirm that the knob and the switch right next to it are indeed channels 8 and 7, respectively?

                      You can get a good feel from the radio configuration setup in QGC, where you can see the channel assignments -> roughly here https://docs.modalai.com/configure-rc-radio/

                        I'm still having trouble working out the controller and the gimbal. Here's a video of what I did. The channel monitor acknowledges one switch as channel 6 (which I set to RC_MAP_AUX1) but doesn't seem to respond to the dial. https://we.tl/t-HWHzLeJ46h

                          Solution: sometimes when just binding the RC controller, the inputs aren't shown. Make sure to restart drone after rebinding. Additionally, I've found different controllers have different lever/switch inputs, so its good to use QGC to look for the responsive switches and assign the ones you want accordingly
