    voxl-uvc-server only supports a few data types. You may need to modify the code to support the format of the e-CAM83

    If you have a gstreamer command that works on your linux box, it should work on VOXL as well though.

      @Chad-Sweet
      Thank you so much for looking into this for me.

      Can I ask for some assistance with modifying the voxl-uvc-server?

      Do I modify the voxl-uvc-server C file, then make it into an ipk and push it into the VOXL?

        The instructions are in the readme here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-uvc-server

          @Chad-Sweet But yes, you modify the code, build it, and push the IPK to VOXL

            @Chad-Sweet
            Is the Hires + TOF + Stereo (one stereo configured as the tracking camera) configuration possible?
            In case the e-CAM83 will not work with the Seeker.

              Just to confirm,
              If I modify the voxl-uvc-server/src/main.c file, to allow H264 format, would this work?
              Or does the modification need to happen somewhere else in the main.c?
              I’m just not exactly sure what or where I need to modify the voxl-uvc-server to make my UVC camera work.

                @Kris H264 is not supported in voxl-uvc-server. See https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-uvc-server/-/blob/dev/src/main.c#L64. You may be able to add support for it but there are some tricky aspects to H264 streaming that you would need to be aware of before attempting it. Seems like you should start with the video3 interface since it supports 640x480 YUYV

                  Ok, thank you.
                  I will start with attempting /dev/video3 first.

                    It seems as if VOXL1 is not able to connect with my UVC camera.

                            I have tried both fakesink and playbin.
                            Neither of them work either.
                            Has anyone gotten gstreamer to successfully work on VOXL1?

                              I also have another UVC camera, but it only outputs MJPG (compressed) and YUY2 (uncompressed 640x480 30fps) formats.

                              It works for streaming, but I am trying to record the video to the Seeker’s SD card.
                              Is there a way to do this with Gstreamer or a similar program?

                                @Kris You can't use autovideosink on VOXL because it doesn't have a display

                                Could this be the reason why no devices are found when I use gst-device-monitor-1.0 Video/Source on the VOXL1?

                                  I see that the VOXL1 has the gst-plugins-good.
                                  Is it possible to also add the gst-plugins-bad and gst-plugins-ugly?

                                    @Kris We use GStreamer in our voxl-streamer application. It does work on VOXL1.

                                        If possible, could you please provide me with a VOXL1 working pipeline (streaming or recording) using any UVC camera of your choice?

                                          @Kris That's not how it works on VOXL1. The voxl-uvc-server application places frames into an MPA pipe and the voxl-streamer application (based on gstreamer) reads those frames and processes them for output using RTSP. However, I do believe that I did try command line gst-launch-1.0 style pipelines with UVC cameras in the past and they worked. I don't have an example of one though. You may want to start with one of our supported UVC cameras first and then try to get your particular UVC camera working. I always start with the Logitech C270. We list the specific cameras that we support because each one caused us some issues and required code changes to make it work. We even had to fork the libuvc library in order to make changes to that to get some of the cameras working properly.
