Voxl Streamer implementation with rtmp or dash streaming protocol

[Hammas Ali]

I am trying use a Voxl with rtmp or dash protocol .But there is no documtation provided for voxl implementation through rtmp or dash streaming protocol. Is there any way to implement rtmp or dash protocol through voxl and also how can I improve framerates,bitrates,bandwidth in voxl-streamer and voxl-rtsp

[Eric Katzfey]

@Hammas-Ali We have not tried either of those streaming protocols. Voxl is a Linux computer so it is likely that you can implement RTMP or DASH. voxl-streamer uses GStreamer so, if there are RTMP or DASH GStreamer elements available, it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate them.

@Hammas-Ali Regarding "framerates,bitrates,bandwidth" in voxl-streamer have you looked through the documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-streamer/?

[Hammas Ali]

@Eric-Katzfey I am talking about improving bitrate ,fps ,bandwidth against obstacles and long distance. We are providing custom values to voxl-streamer but it is still not working. Is there any possible solution for storing frames in any external storage and reconnect server side during streaming.

[Eric Katzfey]

@Hammas-Ali I'm sorry but I'm having a difficult time understanding your request. It sounds like you are getting into situations where your wireless signal strength gets low and your streamed video is no longer clear or in some cases you lose the signal completely and the stream disconnects. So you want to store the video on the drone so that you can view it after the flight in addition to using the stream. And in the cases where the connection drops you would like to automatically reconnect. Is that what you are asking? What application are you using to view the streamed video?

[Hammas Ali]

@Eric-Katzfey Yes this is what I am asking and I am using voxl-streamer and voxl-rtsp.I am facing a situation in which client side connection is lost or gets low.I would like to add addaptive streaming in my application in which if fps or bitrate get low It automatically adjust the quality of video and also use stroage functionality if connection is lost it shoud continue streaming and try to reconnect.

[Eric Katzfey]

@Hammas-Ali Yes, those would all be great features but we have not implemented them at this time. However, we may be able to provide guidance on the streaming re-connection issue. I'll ask some of our team members to take a look.
